Thinking about curatorial education through an imagined museum

Research output: Journal PublicationsJournal Article (refereed)peer-review

Abstract

This paper examines how a university develops curatorial education through the manifestation of an imagined community (GABLE 2013) in its urban context. Based on a case study of the Lingnan University in Hong Kong, it argues that curatorial education can benefit from the imagining work that strives to connect with the professional community, the larger community, and the urban context of the city. However, curatorial education is both an academic concern as well as a keenly public practice. Consideration should be given to the ramifications of the real communities that curatorial education can serve.
