I’ve not really had a very good look at this yet but there are some good people involved and there’s an interesting open aspect to it. I’ll do a quote-y thing here and leave you to investigate the rest:
anticurate is imagined as mac birmingham’s version of an open exhibition. In association with mac birmingham, artist Trevor Pitt has devised the anticurate project as a platform to explore democratic and collective approaches to exhibition curating
Submitted artworks will be exhibited in the main gallery using a flexible exhibition structure and space that has been designed by Juneau Projects.
Each exhibition will be individually organised by invited groups that we are calling ‘anticurators’, including:
- young people from Project Platform and Ikon Youth programme
- a group of older people from Young at Heart
- members of the Extra Special People professional development programme at Eastside Projects
- a selection of mac birmingham staff
- Carli Frances and Rosie Carmichael of No Aloha arts collective
