Public Lecture: Jan van Boeckel (Hanze UAS)

In recent years, the multifaceted role of the curator in museums, exhibition spaces, and cultural heritage sites has expanded significantly. Curators are expected to produce innovative scholarship, invent new fundraising formats, digitize collections, collaborate with artists, and engage with society in order to rethink the museum as a sustainable place for the future. They have also moved from traditional institutional contexts to include public spaces as a site of curation.In 2021, our successful summer school series“The Knowledge of the Curator”centres on the increasing interest in curatorial projects that cross the boundaries between art and nature. Can artistic interventions forge meaningful relationships between humans and nature? What is the history of curating beyond museum walls? Can contemporary art enhance ecological awareness and local identities? What are the characteristics and challenges of ‘landscape-based’ curating and can the environment be curated at all?Intended for art historians preparing for a career in museums, cultural institutions, or academia, as well as active professionals in those fields, this course is devoted to the knowledge, expertise, and skills required to meet the challenge of curating art and the environment.Organized by the Department of History of Art, Architecture & Landscape.

Summer School Art History

The Trees Have Ears and the Field has Eyes

In June 2020, Jan van Boeckel took up his position as professor Art &amp; Sustainability at Research Centre Art &amp; Sustainability (Hanze UAS). He started his career as a cultural anthropologist, but increasingly focused on his own artistic practice and on the pedagogy of art education. In 2013, he received his Doctor of Arts in arts education at Aalto University, Helsinki. His current research focuses on how art can help us face the great challenges of our time, of which the ecological crisis arguably is the most pressing.!!! This lecture is sold-out !!!
