International Conference: „Contemporary Curating & Museum Education“

21 & 22 November 2014 Friday 21.11.2014 3pm & Saturday 22.11.2014 9am

Conference languages: German and English with simultaneous translation

Ever since museum work first began to be professionalised, “curation” and “education” have been presented as distinct areas of work, based on quite different sets of knowledge and experience. In the course of the last two decades, this structure has grown less rigid, and the boundaries between the two areas of work have become increasingly permeable.Conceived by the programme leader and three lecturers from “Curating and Museum Education”, the specialised Master in Art Education programme at Zurich University of the Arts, the conference poses a central question which is also crucial to the teaching on this course: How does the integration of curating and education change the nature of museum work? International representatives from a variety of different types of museum take a close look at the various ways in which they are putting these “grand designs” into practice.
