In order to develop one strand from our previous collaborative research project Episode [AH/D000831/1], Curating Video explores new possibilities for the curation of group video exhibitions by focussing on the ideological force of video media when it is understood as having substantial material form.Through this project we aim to test and establish new forms and attitudes to the curation of video in contemporary art. Current discourse across the fields of architecture, sociology, media studies, cultural theory and political philosophy have explored how both politics and culture mutually construct fictions that articulate our shared experiences as moments of community and sociality. These include Jacques Ranciere on 'the distribution of the sensible' (Politics and Aesthetics, 2004), Anthony Vidler's 'Architecture's Expanded Field' (Artforum International, April, 2004), and Jon Jerde's Experiential Placemaking.These shifts have led to new attitudes in curating artworks and new interpretations of curatorial form. In particular they have led to an emphasis on curating as a critical practice, where curating is considered to be part of contemporary production / as experimental and expanded. This has been reflected in the current diversity of curatorial study at postgraduate and research level and a broad range of artist run spaces in the UK and abroad.Taking this research to the curation of public spaces and the affect of culture within them, we aim to propose new critical practices for the curation of video work in group exhibition formats by re-thinking the relationship between video works and the architectural space that they occupy. Here our research asks; to what extent can video be experienced as a facet of architecture, that is, stable, material and object-based? Following on from this, how does it establish itself as part of our lived reality? To what extent does it share the ideological power of architectural form? And; how does this conception and transformation of the gallery environment question the received understanding of social space as a site of authenticity, reality and truth? These visible changes in methodology, new critiques on aesthetics and politics, and the current proliferation of video artworks, evidences a need to test new processes and interpretations of video curation.Our proposed research outputs are as follows: Exhibition:In order to carry out this research we will curate an exhibition at KX Gallery Hamburg, Germany. This will feature four single screen video works from artists Amanda Beech, Pierre Bismuth, Jaspar Joseph-Lester, and Roman Vasseur. Key to our curation is the production of a specific architectural environment within which to view the works. This will respond both to each individual artwork and to the gallery architecture. Symposium:We will invite papers from leading artists, curators, writers, and academics to explore research methodology in art practice, to share research across a range of fields, and to generate further debate on the themes of the research project. Documentation/Dissemination:The project will be documented, including transcriptions from the symposium, and will be prepared for future publication. We will publish ongoing collated documentation on dedicated University WebPages across UAL, Sheffield Hallam University, and Essex University.We anticipate that the applications and benefits of this project will be: 1. The development of new strategies for curating video2. The establishment of strong links with universities and galleries in the UK and abroad3. The dissemination of new research in pedagogy to wider specialist and public audiences4. The future development of this research into a series of international exhibitions, symposia and publication5. The development and sharing of new critiques on the relationship between curating and the politics of public and social space through practice-based research and published writing.

为了延续我们之前合作研究项目《集集》[AH/D000831/1]中的一条线索，策展视频通过关注视频媒体在被理解为具有实质性物质形式时的意识形态力量，探索了策展群视频展览的新可能性。通过这个项目，我们旨在测试和建立当代艺术中视频策展的新形式和态度。目前，建筑、社会学、媒体研究、文化理论和政治哲学等领域的讨论都在探讨政治和文化如何相互构建小说，以表达我们作为社区和社会性时刻的共同经历。其中包括Jacques Ranciere的“感性的分布”（政治与美学，2004年），Anthony Vidler的“建筑的扩展领域”（国际艺术论坛，2004年4月），以及Jon Jerde的“体验场所制造”。这些转变导致了艺术策展的新态度和对策展形式的新诠释。特别是，它们导致了对策展作为一种批判性实践的强调，策展被认为是当代生产的一部分/实验性和扩张性。这反映在当前研究生和研究水平的策展研究的多样性以及英国和国外广泛的艺术家运营空间中。通过对公共空间策展及其文化影响的研究，我们旨在通过重新思考视频作品与其所占据的建筑空间之间的关系，为群展形式的视频作品策展提出新的批判性实践。在这里，我们的研究问道；视频在多大程度上可以被体验为建筑的一个方面，即稳定的、材料的和基于物体的？接着，它是如何成为我们生活现实的一部分的呢？它在多大程度上分享了建筑形式的意识形态力量？和;画廊环境的这种概念和转变如何质疑人们对社会空间作为一个真实、现实和真理的场所的理解？这些方法上的明显变化，对美学和政治的新批评，以及当前视频艺术作品的激增，都表明需要测试视频策展的新过程和解释。我们提出的研究成果如下：展览：为了开展这项研究，我们将在德国汉堡的KX画廊策划一个展览。此次展览将展出来自艺术家Amanda Beech、Pierre Bismuth、Jaspar Joseph-Lester和Roman Vasseur的四件单屏视频作品。我们策展的关键是创造一个特定的建筑环境，在这个环境中观看作品。这将对每个单独的艺术品和画廊建筑做出回应。研讨会：我们将邀请著名艺术家、策展人、作家和学者发表论文，探讨艺术实践中的研究方法，分享跨领域的研究成果，并就研究项目的主题进行进一步的讨论。文件/传播：将对该项目进行记录，包括专题讨论会的抄录，并将为今后出版作准备。我们将在伦敦联合大学、谢菲尔德哈勒姆大学和埃塞克斯大学的专门大学网页上发布正在进行的整理文档。我们预计该项目的应用和效益将是：1。视频策划新策略的发展。与英国和国外的大学和画廊建立了紧密的联系。向更广泛的专家和公众传播新的教育学研究成果。这项研究的未来发展将会是一系列的国际展览、研讨会和出版物。通过基于实践的研究和出版的文章，发展和分享关于公共和社会空间策展与政治之间关系的新批评。
