The aim of this research is to provide a new critical framework for analysing and developing festival curatorial strategies. This is a partnership between Audio Visual Arts North East (AVANE) and Newcastle University's Fine Art Department , supported by the International Centre for Cultural and Heritage Studies. AVANE's main objective is delivery of the biennial AV Festival of electronic arts, which takes place across the urban centres of Newcastle, Gateshead, Middlesbrough and Sunderland. Using the AV Festival as a case study, this project will critically analyse the site-responsive curatorial strategies of a large-scale electronic arts festival, with a view to conceptualising innovative curatorial strategies to influence practice in multi-media arts festivals. In so doing, it will make a unique contribution to the under-researched field of site-specific festival curatorship.The research sits in a productive but under-researched area between contemporary arts practice, curatorship and site-responsive practice. Current research into festivals tends to focus on social or economic impact, visitor motivation and issues surrounding sustainable tourism. Even with keynote festivals such as Documenta, Skulptur Projekte Münster and the International Symposium of Electronic Arts more is written about individual artworks than the festival as an entity in its own right and its relationship to site. Festivals and competitions drawing on digital resources to creatively occupy public space (e.g. Urban Screens) likewise lack the specific critical context needed to inform innovative models and to consider the challenges posed to new media practice by contemporary, particularly urban, space. The role of curatorship in media festivals is not addressed in most postgraduate curating courses and the result is a substantial skills and knowledge gap which this project seeks to address. The project's overall aim is to provide critical analysis of festival curatorship over a multiple-site urban terrain and inform site-responsive curatorial strategies for such festivals, particularly involving electronic media. The specific aims are:- To develop a new critical framework for analysing festival curation- To propose creative curatorial strategies for multi-media arts festivals- To enable AVANE to reflect on its festival developmentIt is anticipated that the student will address the following objectives:- Provide critical case studies of AV Festivals- Provide analysis of arts and new media festivals and their curatorial strategies- Place AV Festivals within broader national and international context- Identify key issues and apply them to live case study of AV12- Theorise new festival curatorial strategies, through conducted research, particularly with a view to AV14Underpinning this are research questions centred on festivals and curation, such as:Festivals & Practice: How have electronic arts festivals developed? What is the difference between commissioning and curatorship within festivals? How have arts festivals centred around public space evolved, what have the patterns of curatorship been and what are the implications for electronic media? How does electronic media festival practice in the North East relate to practices of multi-media art festival curatorship in the UK and Europe (e.g. Documenta, ISEA) particularly since 2000?Curation: What problems does multiple-site curatorship impose? What is the role of the curator in negotiating/mediating issues of space/place in relation to that of the artist? What are the potentials/problems of new media works across a multiple-site festival? What implications do multi-partner festivals pose for curatorial strategies? To what extent can the festival model itself be theorised as a public intervention?This PhD will be important in critically contextualising and pro

这项研究的目的是为分析和制定节日策展策略提供一个新的关键框架。这是东北视听艺术协会 (AVANE) 和纽卡斯尔大学美术系之间的合作伙伴关系，并得到了国际文化和遗产研究中心的支持。 AVANE 的主要目标是举办两年一度的 AV 电子艺术节，该活动在纽卡斯尔、盖茨黑德、米德尔斯堡和桑德兰市中心举办，该项目以 AV 节为案例研究。将批判性地分析大型电子艺术节的现场响应策展策略，以期提出创新的策展策略来影响多媒体艺术节的实践，从而为当下的多媒体艺术节做出独特的贡献。该研究属于当代艺术实践、策展和现场响应实践之间富有成果但研究不足的领域。目前对节日的研究往往集中在社会或经济影响、游客方面。即使像卡塞尔文献展、明斯特雕塑展和国际电子艺术研讨会这样的主题节日，更多地是关于单个艺术作品，而不是节日本身及其与节日和比赛的关系。利用数字资源创造性地占据公共空间（例如城市屏幕）同样缺乏为创新模式提供信息和考虑当代（尤其是城市）空间对新媒体实践构成的挑战所需的特定批判背景。大多数研究生固化课程都没有讨论媒体节的策展问题，其结果是该项目寻求解决的巨大技能和知识差距，该项目的总体目标是对多地点城市地形和媒体节的策展提供批判性分析。为此类节日（特别是电子媒体）提供现场响应式策展策略。 具体目标是： - 开发分析节日策展的新关键框架 - 为多媒体艺术节提出创意策展策略 - 实现。 AVANE 反思其节日发展预计学生将实现以下目标：- 提供 AV 节的关键案例研究 - 提供对艺术和新媒体节及其策展策略的分析 - 将 AV 节置于更广泛的国内和国际背景中 -确定关键问题并将其应用于 AV12 的现场案例研究 - 通过进行研究，理论化新的节日策展策略，特别是为了 AV14 支撑这一点的是以节日和策展为中心的研究问题，例如as：节日与实践：电子艺术节是如何发展的？节日中的委托和策展之间有什么区别？以公共空间为中心的艺术节是如何演变的，策展的模式是什么以及对电子媒体的影响是什么？东北电子媒体节的实践与英国和欧洲的多媒体艺术节策展实践（例如卡塞尔文献展、ISEA）有何关联，特别是自 2000 年以来？策展：多地点策展会带来哪些问题？策展人在咨询/调解与艺术家相关的空间/场所问题方面的作用是什么？新媒体作品在多场地节日中的潜力/问题是什么？策展策略？在多大程度上可以将节日模式本身理论化为一种公共干预？这个博士学位对于批判性地情境化和专业化非常重要。
