Curating & New Technologies: Alfredo Cramerotti’s talk for New Curators curatorial platform, hosted by A4 Arts Foundation, Cape Town, SA
Thursday 15 December 2022, 1pm UK time
A new training course for aspiring curators from lower socio-economic backgrounds has been launched by three former Tate specialists. “So many people who would be interested in curating don’t even try to enter the profession because the courses are prohibitively expensive,” says Mark Godfrey, a former senior curator of international art at Tate Modern.
Godfrey will run the New Curators training programme in collaboration with two co-directors: Kerryn Greenberg, former head of international collection exhibitions at Tate, and Rudi Minto de Wijs, who worked in the institution’s marketing department and served as co-chair of its Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) network.
Cramerotti’s talk will focus on how artists relate to technology:
How can artists and curators understand and mobilise changes in technology, from the internet and smart phone to AI, block-chain, NFTs etc?
What are the risks of replicating spectacle-culture and potentials of resisting it?
What do we make of the initial hype surrounding NFTs and subsequent fall?
What does this mean for the future?
What advice would we give emerging curators who are interested in learning about artists working with new technologies?

Ten women, ten warriors, ten goddesses who don’t need the male gaze anymore.
“The male gaze” was a term first coined in 1975 by feminist film critic, Laura Mulvey, to describe a masculine point of view across movies and literature in which women are presented as the objects of male pleasure. Mulvey states that the female characters in question have no direct influence on the plot, and merely serve as a support or a sexual object for the male.
A question that quickly – and often – comes up in our mind is:
How do women and female-identifying artists represent themselves according to their own vision?
In the past, women (in the large sense of the term) were represented such as muses or object/subject of desire, but the NFT movement provides a new vision of themselves, a real vision. No longer musesor subjects to scrutiny, they are warriors, fighters, present-day goddesses that deal constantly with their minds and bodies and choices and with people that want to decide about their rights for all these.
Carolee Schneemann, a radical feminist artist that changed the history of body art, said “I AM BEING MY BODY”. And being your body is a hard path in life, in particular if you are a woman. As curators, we realised that through the NFT movement they feel finally free to be like they want, without men (or male-identifying gatekeepers) suggesting or even imposing another vision for their identity.
Disney princesses, Lara Crofts, and Victoria’s Secrets models are definitely passé in this Century, and for good reasons: because to be a shero today you have heart, wisdom, sharpness and grace; and less muscles. Finally.

XXNFT is an art curating, collection intelligence & publishing platform focused on the work of women, female-identifying and non-binary artists working with NFTs.
We focus on female artists because, when NFT narratives don’t celebrate women, they reiterate a marginalization that happened many times in art history (and not only in art). We want to emphasize the women’s presence in the application of NFT technology to the art form from the start to alter the record. The women we focus on via interviews, features, and curated collection of artworks represent globally diverse populations, communities, and politics.
Decentral Art Pavilion is an IRL NFT International Art Exhibition. The Pavilion opened its doors in parallel with the 2022 Venice Art Biennale, featuring acclaimed artists such as Beeple, Xcopy, Snowfro, Trevor Jones, Coldie, Hackatao, Matt DesLauriers, Robert Alice, Piter Pasma, Rhea Mayers, Skygolpe, Ryan Koopmans, Dmitri Cherniak, Maxim Zhestkov, Casey Reas, among others.
Decentral Art Pavilion brings relevant transcultural contemporary art in partnership with curators, galleries, independent artists groups, and art institutions from around the world. Our mission is to open the doors to a constructive dialogue between the mainstream art world and the newly NFT space. Many of our established artists’ works are in international museums and in prominent collections.
