Qui. Enter Atlas II is the second part of the symposium Qui. Enter Atlas, which was held in june 2007, at GAMEC (Galleria d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) in Bergamo, Italy.

In this colloquium, that was coproduced by GAMEC and S.M.A.K., 15 young international curators, selected by 15 international Art Institutions, discussed the theme ‘Art in the Landscape of the Media’. Mentor and ‘godmother’ during this sessions was the international renowned media-artist Dara Birnbaum.

For Qui. Enter Atlas part II, the young curators were asked again by S.M.A.K. and GAMEC to ‘formalise’ this discussion material from part 1, into a presentation of approximately 45 minutes about the topic ‘Art in the Landscape of the Media’, mixed with their own thoughts and opinions emerging from their daily practice as a young curator.

The detailed symposium programme with the presentations will be online soon.

Curated/Organised by:
Giacinto Di Pietrantonio and Alessandro Rabottini (Gamec, Bergamo)
Philippe Van Cauteren and Thibaut Verhoeven (S.M.A.K., Ghent)
