Bassam El Baroni is developing a curatorial practice course, taking place at Hohensalzburg Fortress from 22 July to 3 August, with an emphasis on art theory, philosophy, pedagogy and exhibition making. El Baroni is a curator and art critic based in Alexandria (EG). In 2005 he co-founded the non-profit art space Alexandria Contemporary Arts Forum (ACAF), and was its director from 2006 to 2012. He was co-curator of Manifesta 8, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art, 2010, Region of Murcia (ES) for which he curated (with Jeremy Beaudry, ACAF’s former associate curator) OVERSCORE, an exhibition project in three different venues in the cities of Murcia and Cartagena.

The films, photographs, paintings, drawings and object-based works of Russian artist Olga Chernysheva lyrically investigate the fabric of individuality and self-sufficiency, and meditate upon the role of the artist in a time of flux. Participants of her course, taking place at Hohensalzburg Fortress from 12 to 31 August, will work on their own artistic landscape. This may be entirely fictional, or it may contain details taken from reality. Currently, Chernysheva’s work is included in group shows at Galerie Christine König in Vienna and at Galerie Volker Diehl in Berlin, as well as in the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India.
