The ST PAUL St Gallery 2013 Curatorial Symposium is divided into two sections. The first will examine exhibition histories from the Asia Pacific region as part of a project initiated by Biljana Ciric through a series of papers and discussions. The second half will be dedicated to roundtable discussions and presentations in response to contemporary curatorial concerns as well as reflecting on the context of the 5th Auckland Triennial, If you were to live here…. The ST PAUL St Gallery 2013 Curatorial Symposium is decidedly local and consciously positioned within the geo political situation of the Asia Pacific.

Attendance to the Symposium sessions are upon registration only. Registrations have now closed. If you are still interested in attending and wish to go on the waiting list please email stpaul.gallery@aut.ac.nz
