ROBERT RAUSCHENBERG EMERGING CURATOR COMPETITION

Description

The Robert Rauschenberg Foundation in partnership with Arsty announces the new Emerging Curator Competition. The competition is intended to foster a new generation of curators by providing online access to digital resources and collections, including works by Robert Rauschenberg, as well as to explore new curatorial perspectives, scholarship, and dialogues on art. In the spirit of Robert Rauschenberg, the jury seeks proposals that make unexpected connections and ponder new lines of questioning. In a career that spanned more than fifty years, Rauschenberg continually pushed the boundaries by using a multidisciplinary approach and defying expectation. His commitment to innovation and his fearless approach to art are characteristics that the jury will evaluate in the online exhibition proposals.


Eligibility

The competition is open to full-time or part-time undergraduate students, graduate students, and post-doctoral fellows who are at least 18 years old and are affiliated with an accredited college or university.


Award

The winner will receive a curatorial fellowship and honorarium (up to $5,000 to offset approved travel and living expenses for the fellowship) with the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. As a curatorial fellow, the winner will have the opportunity to collaborate with the Foundation and curate a live exhibition at the winner’s academic institution, including actual artworks by Robert Rauschenberg loaned from the Foundation’s collection. In addition, the winner will have their online exhibition presented on the Artsy Site and Rauschenberg Foundation website.


Deadline: 20 October 2014
