All stages welcome
Gavin Wade is an artist-curator, serial collaborator, Director of the new Eastside Projects, Birmingham and Research Fellow in Curating at the University of Central England. His practice combines a number of strategies from developing structures within exhibitions for ‘supporting’ the work of others to a broader enquiry into utopian sites of/for art, resulting in projects merging fiction, public space and whatever else feels urgent at the time. Curated projects include: Strategic Questions (since 2002) an ongoing series of 40 questions/projects in 40 publications including What is intellect/comprehension?, Venice Biennale (2007); 100 Verses for 3 Estates (What is animate?) with Alec Finlay (2006-7); What is positive? Why? Kunsthalle Exnergasse, Vienna & De Appel, Amsterdam (2006) and his non-simultaneous novel The Interruptors (2005) published by Article Press; Thin Cities, Piccadilly Line Centenary Exhibition, Platform for Art, London Underground (2006-7); Support Structure Phase 1-6, with architect Celine Condorelli, various locations (2003-2007); Kiosk3: Merz Kiosk (mit Simon & Tom Bloor), Magazin4, Bregenz, Austria (2006); Public Structures, Guang Zhou Triennial, China (2005); ArtSheffield05: Spectator T, a cross city Biennial with Sheffield Contemporary Art Forum (2005); and Bas Jan Ader & Nathan Coley, Vilma Gold Gallery (2001). He is the editor of Curating In The 21st Century, The New Art Gallery Walsall (2000); In The Midst Of Things (with Nigel Prince), Bournville, August Media (2000); STRIKE (adjusted by Liam Gillick), Alberta Press London (2002); Nathan Coley: Black Tent, Portsmouth Cathedral, Art & Sacred Places (2003); and Generator 1+2: New International Curatorial Research (with John Butler), (2006) Article Press.

This discussion page has been set up to let BACCC students share opinions and comments about guest lectures.
What we'd like is that you write up your notes from the lectures and post them here. You can also respond to posts.
The blog represents a project I'm doing as part of my teacher-training (PGCert in Learning and Teaching in Higher Education). My aim is to try to get students to engage with the guest lectures in a more critical way, learning how to ask better questions of the speaker and draw the material from the lectures into the work you do in essays and other projects.
When I was doing my MA in art history, first year students were required to attend every guest lecture and write up a 1-page critical analysis, which was marked by our tutor. We were also encouraged to pose informed questions of the speaker. The exercise was effective because it made us into active listeners, gave us practice taking good notes, and, by writing up our notes, created a context where we reflected on the lecture, its content and the speaker's particular approach, developing an 'argument' about it, much like you would about a reading.
By making this activity take place online (instead of something students share only with their tutor) my hope is that the exercise will accomplish, for those who take part, the things mentioned above, but also generate a dialogue between students.
The discussion also has the potential to be expansive--you might like to post comments referring to related material or relevant links, in effect sharing research.
I hope this works. Please let me know!
