'Shock & Awe' will explore political and ethical issues from a
curatorial perspective. It will provide an opportunity to engage in
critical debate around a range of issues while also encouraging dialogue
between galleries. Featuring keynote presentations, panel discussions,
gallery tours and studio visits, and a facilitated workshop along with
dinner with leading and emerging contemporary artists, this event aims
to be a significant convention for both senior and emerging curators
across the sector. 

 

National Exhibitions Touring Support (NETS) Victoria is committed to
presenting an annual symposium for emerging and established curators
working across Australia. According to feedback, there is a gap in the
visual arts sector for curators to network with regional and interstate
colleagues and to engage in relevant discussion and debate. NETS
Victoria has recognised this need and this two day event will mark the
launch of an annual symposium, and much needed forum, for curators and
artsworkers.

 

We are very excited to bring you an ambitious program of events that
will be delivered by a wide-ranging group of established and emerging
curators, artists, academics and dynamic thinkers. 

 

We hope you will be able to join us at the 2007 NETS Victoria symposium
and participate in the vigorous conversations and debates that will
unfold over the course of this special two day event.

 

NETS Victoria is extremely grateful for the generous support of the Ian
Potter Museum of Art, Art Gallery Guide Australia, the Public Galleries
Association of Victoria, Gertrude Contemporary Art Spaces, Arts
Victoria, the National Gallery of Victoria, the Australia Council and
Glenmaggie Wines who have enabled us to bring you this major event.
