Professional Certificate Program
Center for the Arts
Wesleyan University
The Institute for Curatorial Practice in Performance (ICPP) brings together artists, curators, scholars, presenters and cultural leaders to encourage innovative and relevant curatorial approaches to presenting time-based art.
Now in its second year, the ICPP will offer a 2012–2013 professional certificate program in Curatorial Practice in Performance at Wesleyan University in Middletown, Connecticut. The program encourages emerging curators to enrich their understanding of intellectually rigorous, innovative and artist-centered curatorial models. Through a close examination of the practical and theoretical concerns of time-based art, graduates of the ICPP certificate program will:
Deepen their knowledge of diverse curatorial practices
Improve critical thinking and writing skills
Enhance their professional relationships
Complete an independent project in consultation with an advisor
Current instructors include ICPP Director Samuel A. Miller; Wesleyan professors Katja Kolcio, Cláudia Tatinge Nacimento and Nicole Stanton; and field professionals Philip Bither of the Walker Art Center, Doryun Chong of MoMA, Kristy Edmunds of UCLA Live, Judy Hussie-Taylor of Danspace Project and ethnomusicologist Steven Taylor.
The certificate is a low-residency, nine-month academic program. Students will complete work online in between on-campus intensives at Wesleyan University. Dates for the 2012–13 on-campus intensives are: July 6–22, 2012; November 15–18, 2012; March 8–11, 2013.
