About
- Iain Irving
- Catterline, Aberdeenshire, Scotland
- My research is to define and analyse my own and others’ curatorial practice. The aim of this research is to investigate and define the development of contemporary curating in Scotland thus enabling clarity and new knowledge of the identity and cultural values of the practice. The objectives are - • to clarify the field by defining the identity of contemporary curating in Scotland. • to investigate the curatorial practices of key practitioners • to locate and analyse the systems and strategies used by curators and producers • to undertake a range of curatorial events • to present a thesis that defines the identity and perceived cultural values of contemporary curating in Scotland. The research methodology will include mapping curatorial practice activities in Scotland, interviewing key curatorial practitioners and producers, analysing curatorial and event production, producing a range of curatorial events and by way of analysis producing a thesis that will attempt to identify contemporary curating in Scotland and define the perceived cultural values.
