We're thrilled to continue our LAB Professional Development program in 2022. Our first three sessions will focus on curatorial practice, beginning this month.
Public Art Commission's David Cross and Cameron Bishop will run the first session, looking at curation in a public art context. This will be held online, and tickets are $10.
Public Art Commission is a research initiative at Deakin University focused on the curation, scholarship, delivery and analysis of publicly funded and commissioned arts projects.
Co-directed by Professor David Cross and Associate Professor Cameron Bishop with Research Fellow Ilana Russell , PAC delivers leading-edge artistic and curatorial projects and publications, and consultancy work locally and internationally.
PAC draws on the expertise of key Deakin researchers, HDR candidates and external research fellows to drive new thinking about art in public places and the ways that arts engage the public. At a time when art produced outside of galleries, museums and theatres is continually expanding its form and value, transforming both public and private spheres, governments and organisations alike are seeking specialist knowledge to markedly improve community ties and to help determine the role art can and should play in shaping our environment. Our expert and multi-skilled organisation leads practice, dialogue and advocacy in public art and investigates what happens in the moments in which art meets the public.
