Lionel Dobie Project (LDP) was a one-year venture (2012/2013) supporting emerging curators. Through a series of curatorial residencies and ongoing projects, it brought the subject of curating to the forefront of art practice, examining traditional curatorial procedures and seeking alternative methods of presenting work that are discursive rather than static. Allowing curators the same freedom of exploration that is commonplace for artists, LDP’s manifesto was merely to give curators a platform to develop their ideas while questioning the very foundation that defines curating as their practice.
