In a conversation between two producers, Dušan Dovč and a guest, we will present, what are the tasks of the producer in contemporary art.
Producer in an institution: What is the contribution of the producer to a project respectively and what tasks does he carry out. For example, content and technical preparation for the project, selection of exhibition space (co-production agreement), the financing of the project, coordination with the artists and authors of the project, coordination of promotion of the project, the project documentation. We will focus on an institution that operates in the field of contemporary art with basic exhibition activity, but does not have its own exhibition space. We will also examine, what is the difference between a co-producer and co-organizer.
Producer and/or curator: What is the cooperation between producers and curators? Is the producer also the curator and vice versa? When are their tasks separated and when integrated?
Producer as a profession: At a time when some jobs in the register of self-employed in culture are becoming jeopardized, we will discuss how to gain entry in the register of self-employed in the culture as a producer. What are the conditions and what does the entry in the register bring?
