Pooja Sood (India)
With the third and last edition of the lecture series, “Contemporary Curatorial Practices 2010“, Platform3, in cooperation with the ifa-Galerien Stuttgart and Berlin, sets foot on non-European soil: For the first time in Munich, the Indian curator Pooja Sood will present her own curatorial practice, focussing on video art, and give an overview of India's contemporary art scene. People from Munich interested in arts and culture will thus have the unique chance to take part in and learn about the curatorial pathways and new formats of globally operating, international cultural exchanges outside of the occidental art network.
The lecture take place in the rooms of Platform3 München, in English. Admission is free.

Khoj international Artists' Association is an artist led, alternative space for experimentation and international exchange based in India. Part of the global Triangle Arts Trust, KHOJ sees its role as an incubator for art and ideas, artistic exchange and dialogue in the visual arts. Through our programming we aim to assist and develop, forms of art such as media art, performance, video, environmental, public and community based art, sound and other experimental modes of cultural production. As a deliberate policy our core invitees have been from South Asia which has resulted in the development of an active network of artists in the region. KHOJ seeks to promote cross cultural exchange within the visual practices of the 'Global South'. Since our inception in 1997 artists from Iran, Egypt, Cuba, Argentina, Brazil, Lebanon, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, Mainland China, Taiwan and several countries in Africa, have participated in our workshops and residencies. http://khojworkshop.org
