HS Alumni exhibitions (curated)
The CURATION programme of the HANDSHAKE project connects current and ex Handshakers with new challenges and network opportunities.
This programme is additional to the 2-year HS mentorship, and/or the curated 1-year international exhibition focus.
These curated exhibitions are single-focussed. They evolve primarily from requests or opportunities of galleries and curators in partnership with the organisers. This can be both an artist’s call for elaborate curatorial themes, collaborations, or new challenges, or that the artwork developed from past and current practices gets other opportunities to be exhibited at a different location and circumstance.
Each curated HS exhibition is different with a different mix of artists, curatorial focus, exhibition setup, and other local circumstances. The HS organisers aim to collaborate with each of the (co-) curators, and/or gallery owners and negotiate its curation and the works for selection. This additional programme provides extended opportunities, continuation, focus, and stimulus to grow in the creative field. And with that artistic excellence, creative strength, resilience, development, and networking can thrive.
