BU BÖLÜM HAKKINDA
Welcome to Sourcerer ⦿
In this second batch of our long form Echologues, we are tuning into the open sourcery of iconoclastic and pioneering contemporary curators. People whose job it is each day to tune into their creative radar and cultural pulse and elevate artists and celebrate their work.
In this Echologue we talk to Alice Black who was the director and curator of leading contemporary design and innovation space the London Design Museum - involved in its curation transformation from niche London museum to major international design force in an award winning new building in Kensington.
We talk to Alice as how you in the curatorial process and selection of a major cultural institution like the Design Museum you get to properly tune into the creative resonance of the artist's body of work in order to refine and focus on particular aspects of it. How in this process you are also actively in the process of contextually reframing that work. We also explore how this curational signal boost can potentially change the trajectory of an artist's work and profile going forward.
We then explore ArtULTRA - the accelerator for early career artists that Alice now runs and curates. ArtULTRA was created out of the desire to provide support for a diverse range of artists at a time of great need. As a piece of blue sky thinking by Alice Black during the first lockdown in 2020, when reflecting on the impact of the Covid crisis on the Arts.
ArtULTRA has evolved form that need to now support the development of emerging artists and artistic projects in order to create a more diverse and vibrant art world. ArtULTRA provides curatorial services, commissions artworks on behalf of clients, sells art, filters and increases digital outreach and works with artists to enable them develop resilience and sustainable careers.
