1	PRINTMAKING IN TRANSITION : Curating relations with printmaking as a tool for action Kralli Anell, Niki January 2017 (has links) This thesis investigates how the contemporary museum for printmaking Grafikens Hus motivates printmaking in socially engaged art projects based outside of the conventional gallery. It explores how printmaking is practiced as a tool to achieve artistic and curatorial goals, and investigates what Grafikens Hus strives to achieve by making space for meeting places. The analysis is based on in-depth readings of three case studies and two interviews with the director of Grafikens Hus Nina Beckmann and the curator Ulrika Flink. The theoretical perspective strives from concepts relating to audiences, relations and site-specificity outlined by curators engaged in socially engaged practices. The theoretical framework has also been informed by the curator José Roca’s approach to printmaking used as a device to achieve specific conceptual goals. The thesis is structured in three chapters: the first presents Grafikens Hus’s objectives and strivings, the second explores how Grafikens Hus use printmaking to stimulate confluence, the third examines Grafikens Hus’s ambition to curate meeting places. This thesis shows that printmaking is practiced as method for participation, used as tool for collaboration, seeking to create active subjects and co-producers. Furthermore, it demonstrates how Grafikens Hus use participation to form relations with places and thus generate a third room: places recharged with value by a dialogue oriented mind-set.

2	Curating contemporary art, the city and the flâneur : A walk through Bruges and its Triennial Biro, Agnès January 2022 (has links) Discovering the city of Bruges through the lens of its Triennial is the starting point to research the potential for contemporary art to influence one’s way of experiencing the city. Taking the case study of a still not so renowned large-scale event like the Bruges Triennial, this thesis investigates the background of this recurring event, how it started, the evolution of its curatorial process and its socio-political challenges being set, every three years, in the context of a Unesco-protected site. After providing the historical background of the city of Bruges, it evidences the ways in which the Bruges Triennial gradually adopted a flâneuristic approach to curating art and in turn encourages flânerie. This sensible way of progressing in the city, mostly via walking and based on the bodily experience, is allowing the refining of a curatorial practice concerned with generating a sensorial reading of the city and results in a curatorial experiment entitled La Dérive.
