Advisory Board

In 2021 Tselinny is establishing an Advisory board with internationally recognised art professionals. Tselinny Advisory board is a diverse informal panel for theoretical and strategic discussions that will provide a chance for Tselinny and our members to review local discourses and today’s global dynamic art field. We seek to expand dialogue in a series of conversations and exchange of ideas by demonstrating through our programs and initiatives that the traditional definition of one curator falls short of capturing in today’s context. We hope to share and benefit from the knowledge of each other as well as shape the future of projects and program of Tselinny.

For Tselinny, an Advisory board is a opportunity window into a global context of a larger international artistic discourses. We suggest that Advisory board might conceive and supervise the blocks of projects within our chosen problematics and review its implementations. It is important for Tselinny to show that the message and inquiry comes from our local cultural and geopolitical context of Kazakhstan.
