On Saturday morning, November 5 2011, 10am, Künstlerhaus Stuttgart hosted the first Curatorial Breakfast with Dorothee Richter, Head of the Postgraduate Program in Curating at Zurich University of the Arts, and postgraduate students themselves from Zurich University of the Arts as well as curators, artists, and art historians aiming to exchange our experiences and ideas under several topics related to some common contextual references.

The focus of this open platform was based on a key question: How do curatorial tools, alternative ways of exhibition-making, and critical positions survive in different cultural contexts?
The discussion started with an introduction from Adnan Yildiz and Dorothee Richter and inputs by students to create a discussion ground around some terms such as contextuality, localization, and context-sensitivity. After the discussion, Yildiz gave the participants a special tour through the current exhibitions from David Blandy & Nilbar Güres.
