Founded in 1987, l’Ecole du Magasin was the first formation in Europe to propose a curatorial training program in contemporary art. The program is specialized in the coordination of artistic projects related to the exhibition, and relies on the activity of the art centre it is part of.
Organisation
L’Ecole du Magasin is a professional training program that lasts ten months, from end of September to July.The admission to l’Ecole du Magasin results of a call for application, followed by a
selection process.
The program is aimed for candidates involved in the professional contemporary art world. When having completed the program, participants will receive an attestation of participation to the session.
Level
The level of l’Ecole du Magasin corresponds to a Master in fine arts, a specialized professional formation post Master 2, a professional formation in production and diffusion of contemporary art for candidates already involved in cultural structures.
Contents
L’Ecole du Magasin is conceived as a research and production program, developed independently from any academic frame. Teachings are based on the elaboration and production of a project on a ten months term.
The topic of the project is elaborated at the very start of the formation, in the perspective of fulfilling its realization in a professional art venue, taking into account the mastering of the exhibition process and its artistic tools – both technical and conceptual.

It is supported by the teaching and supporting skills of the pedagogical team, of a professional tutor, renowned and linked to the identity of the project, of theoreticians and practitioners (artists, curators, art critics, historians, editors) who intervene on a regular or exceptional basis, accordingly.
Evaluation
The evaluation of the project is immediate. It is lead by a jury composed of the pedagogical team and the tutor.
Diffusion
