Nieuw nummer Frakcija rond 'Curating Performing Arts'

Het Engelstalig podiumkunstentijdschrift FRAKCIJA (dat in 1996 is opgericht in Zagreb door dramaturgen, critici, academici en kunstenaars en ondertussen internationale weerklank krijgt) heeft een nieuw nummer uitgebracht met als thema ‘Curating Performing Arts’. Het staat stil bij de toegenomen armslag van “de curator” (programmeur, producent) in het podiumkunstenveld. Daar is volgens de samenstellers (Florian Malzacher, Tea Tupajic en Petra Zanki) weinig over gedebatteerd de jongste jaren, terwijl de programmering van dans / theater / performance grote veranderingen heeft ondergaan. Ook Vooruit leverde een bijdrage aan de publicatie én onze Theaterzaal siert de (binnen)cover…
The concept of the curator has become more and more influential in the performing arts in recent years. But while it has been heavily discussed and theorized within the visual arts, the function of the programmer, producer, curator in the performing arts remains strangely un-debated. Even though programming in dance, theatre and performance has undergone fundamental changes over the last decades there are barely any texts that reflect on its specific role in art production and reception. The new edition of the performing art magazine FRAKCIJA (edited by Florian Malzacher, Tea Tupajic and Petra Zanki) is fully dedicated to investigating the concept of the curator in performing arts, from its pragmatic limitations, its relations to art and artists up to its conditions within the field of immaterial labour and its role within the system of the art market.
