2024 OPEN-class “Art Community Project”

Open minds, information sharing, knowledge exchange, inspiration links, story weaving, “toolbox” exploration, group meetings – this will be a lesson plan that doesn’t make sense! A4 Art Museum and A4 International Art Residency Center jointly launched the “OPEN-class” art community program to launch our community dialogue and collaborative experiments.
From curriculum to curation, from skills to organization.
In the community, residents often ask, “How can we let people know our story?” How can I plan an event or exhibition? “And that often means a lot of problems – lack of channels, no guidance, and no idea where to start…… In the face of these difficulties, we need a platform to let more people see, hear, and remember every day.
The exhibition is never a simple creative work, it includes curating, coordinating, designing, editing, shooting, and other work from different latitudes and angles, which not only requires certain personal skills, but also needs to master more knowledge and carry out greater teamwork. Therefore, the “OPEN-class” program introduces more practical application courses, inviting professional curators, artists, and interdisciplinary practitioners to help participants understand each other from the curatorial, implementation and even practical parts, and deeply link their own social and life experiences with curatorial learning, so as to resonate with more people. In the future, we will set up a special collaborative group to discuss related topics related to the exploration of images, object narratives, nature, and the body. At the same time, the “OPEN-class Class” will also become a part of the 2024 Luhu Community Co-creation Documenta, using each other’s lives and stories to form a common memory of this community.
