The Salzburg International Summer Academy of Fine Arts is offering two courses in curatorial practice and theory with Joanna Warsza, recently head of the "public program" of Manifesta 10 in St. Petersburg, and Raimundas Malašauskas, who e.g. curated the Lithuanian and Cyprus Pavilion at the 55th Venice Biennale in 2013. After a very successful premiere last year, there will be two courses on "The art of writing and theory" with renowned author and art historian Jennifer Allen, who published hundreds of texts for a host of international publications, including Artforum, Mousse, frieze and frieze d/e (which she edited from 2011 to 2013).
On Thursday, March 19 at 7 p.m., Jennifer Allen holds a lecture on a "Portrait of the city as an artist. Post-Internet art in public" at Kunst-Werke in Berlin. Her latest article "Of drones and horses or the multiplication of moving perspectives" is published in the Feb/March issue of Mousse Magazine.
"Raimundas Malašauskas curates in the world, writes occasionally" is often said in his biography. Recently he has arrived in Liverpool, where he is part of the curatorial team of Liverpool Biennial in 2016. During a conversation with Francesco Manacorda in February this year, he presents former exhibitons he has curated, and talks about a few ideas for the upcoming Biennial.

Within the conference-festival "Are you alive or not?", running March 18–22 at Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, Joanna Warzsa curates a one-day-series of lectures and screenings on the political theater and the idea of performance combining the drama, the visual arts, and political militancy.
