Passages from an ongoing Research on Conducting and Curating
The seminar gives insight into the FWF PEEK project AR 721 “THE ATLAS (OF CREATIVE MECHANISMS): [CURATING-CONDUCTING] led by Basak Senova, an artistic research project that explores the comparative analysis between curating and conducting. It aims to discover new ways of perceiving creative mechanisms in contemporary art (curated after 2000) and concert music (conducted after 2000).
THE ATLAS (OF CREATIVE MECHANISMS): [CURATING-CONDUCTING] is an artistic research project that explores the comparative analysis between curating and conducting. It aims to discover new ways of perceiving creative mechanisms in contemporary art (curated after 2000) and concert music (conducted after 2000).
While the research investigates the performative functions of these two disciplines, its theoretical framework includes concepts of interactive, inter-relational, and participant knowledge. THE ATLAS bridges research and practice by comparing knowledge generated from clustered data.
The theoretical framework encompasses concepts of interactive, inter-relational, and participant knowledge of both curatorial and conductorial practices. The research questions and explores original pathways in interdisciplinary presentation and performance research, focussed on revealing tacit mechanisms of curating and conducting. It is important to recognize there has been no significant research directly linking and exploring the relationship between curating and conducting. THE ATLAS is a PEEK project awarded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) and hosted by the Institute of Art Sciences and Art Education, University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Basak Senova is a curator and designer (MFA in Graphic Design and PhD in Art, Design, and Architecture) who has been writing on art, technology, and media, initiating and developing projects, and curating exhibitions since 1995. From 2020 to 2022, she led the Octopus Programme, a research-based educational platform as a visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Now, she holds a senior postdoctoral researcher position at the same institution with her PEEK project. Senova curated the Turkey and Northern Macedonia pavilions at the Venice Biennale in 2009 and 2015. She also curated the UNCOVERED project (Cyprus, 2011-2013); the 2nd and 5th Biennial of Contemporary Art, D-O ARK Underground (Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2013, 2019); Helsinki Photography Biennial and the Jerusalem Show VII: Fractures (2014); Lines of Passage (Lesvos, 2016), and the inaugural B7L9 exhibition in Tunis (2019). She chaired the Art Gallery for SIGGRAPH 2014 (Vancouver) and led the CrossSections project, curating exhibitions across Europe (2017-2019). She concluded the Octopus Programme in 2022 with exhibitions in Tunis and Vienna and has continued curating exhibitions in Tbilisi, Palermo, Berlin, and Istanbul. She is also a part of the ZoNE initiative in Vienna.
