Luca Panaro

teacher

The main characteristic of photography is its being a machine, and so it offers a different gaze from that of the human eye by virtue of its own peculiar system of perception. Through the photographic device, we may see things differently, and this evokes as much fear as a renewed enthusiasm in the use of the medium.

Stefano Coletto

teacher

Photography is essential for a deeper comprehension of contemporary art. Nowadays, art is nourished by photography in many ways, making use of it as a specific image, as a concept, as a technique, as a document, as a subject, but also as an absence. Photography ca be retrieved in videos, publications, social art, media art. As Kant would say, photography is a priori form of sensitivity.

Silvia Vercelli

student

I enrolled because I thought the practice of the curator was the closest to the direction I would like to take in life. My advice to those enrolling is to think first of all about yourselves, your own resources and potential: the curators’ course is an experience that can take us wherever we want. It stimulates us to think, and it’s a great way to elaborate new ideas.

Francesca Fabiani

teacher

My course focuses on the pragmatic aspects: the idea is to challenge the notion that the work of the curator is merely a matter of ‘thought’. While this must constitute the presupposition in the construction of an exhibition, it is also true that there are a whole series of concrete passages that are just as important. These are systems and methods (but also skills and behaviours) that must be known and followed at every stage: from the elaboration of the concept to the relationship with artists and lenders, to the display process, the catalogue, communication activities and so on.

Daniela Bazzani

student

The course provided me with an overall view of the world of curatorship. It was important to understand how today an exhibition and its concept may be shaped in any number of creative manners, also thanks to the use of new technologies. Particularly stimulating was the module held by Bas Vroege, who made us think about how to put images on show without following the usual paths, and breaking new ground in communication terms.

Ilaria Dall’Olio

student

The curator course allowed me to meet exceptional people, professionals and projects. To create contacts and continually produce ideas to share with colleagues and to propose to institutions and galleries.

Gabriele Romeo

student

My advice is not to lose determination in the study and in the planning work, and so to have the patience to find the right moment in which to let a new project take off, giving it shape and substance. Don’t feel that you have ever arrived: there is a lot to learn and to observe around us; lots of life experiences to take on board.
