Juan A. Gaitan and Maria Lind work from the assumption that curating today extends beyond the production of exhibitions. In their course titled You and me and the others notions such as 'mediation' and 'the public', as well as other concepts relevant to contemporary curatorial practice, will play an important role. This workshop will ask each of its participants to bring her or his own project ideas, as source material for discussion and debate.
