Call for Curators – Currents #9
Z33 and Marres are looking for a team of curators (minimum two persons) for the ninth edition of Currents, an annual group exhibition showcasing works by recently graduated artists from art academies in Belgium, Germany, and the southern Netherlands. The exhibition is the culmination of a broader support programme in which training, networking and professionalisation are central.
Z33 and Marres
Z33 and Marres are institutions for contemporary art in Belgium and the Netherlands. Together, they develop a platform for up-and-coming artists and curators to contribute to an international infrastructure for talent development. Over the past years, more than a hundred artists from 12 academies have exhibited their work, given presentations, and participated in workshops. In addition, almost twenty young international curators have boosted their careers by producing one of the Currents editions.
