Curation
Although the dictionary defines curation as the practice of selecting, organizing, and presenting, it is so much more. It is the process of research and question and thought behind the selection, organization, and presentation that is at heart.
I have always loved to organize objects and so when the occasion arose to organize objects with purpose I jumped at it. The first time I really began thinking about curation from an arts viewpoint however was when I began volunteering at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Then my first foray into organizing an arts event was curating the animation grad room for the graduate exhibit at Emily Carr.
Later I helped with other small shows here and there with installation and take down, and then had the chance to organize my first solo show where I also did the branding and communications for that show.
My first larger show that I have curated is a more ambitious project with Sandra Murillo of Lima, Peru called eNOugh. The project concerns the issues of violence against women, and women's' hopes for their future. For our first kick off show, we rapidly organized the works of 11 international women artists, working in various media, from all over North and South America. We have begun working on the second show now. We also do the marketing and communications for the project, thus far, including our first catalogue.
