LeisureArts Curatorial Championship 2007 (Bracketology II)



FOR LATEST BRACKET CLICK HERE.




UPDATES ARE HERE, and HERE.


Last year we selected the top 64 Art Collectives for our first LeisureArts Championship. It's March Madness once more and the 2007 tournament features curators. Print out the bracket (please note our imaging software doesn't allow the use of "special" characters, so some names do not appear in their proper form, apologies in advance) and make your predictions as to who will take this year's championship! Put your bracketology skills to the test.

IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Chris Gilbert has withdrawn from the tournament having deemed it "...part of a deeply corrupt bourgeois representational context." The selection committee will name a replacement and modify the bracket as soon as possible.

NOTE:
In a surprise selection from the committee, Elizabeth Thomas will replace Chris Gilbert as a #12 seed. Please update your brackets accordingly. Or simply re-print the revised image.

YET ANOTHER UPDATE:
The tournament will proceed in step with the schedule of the NCAA tournament with the major advancement milestones (e.g. Sweet Sixteen, Elite Eight, Final Four, and Championship Game) being updated in separate posts on this site. That will lead to the conclusion of the tournament around April 2nd. Updates may not be as timely as we'd like due to possible technical issues which are too lengthy to describe here, but involve wireless access in the Gulf of Mexico. We ask for your patience. Congratulations to all selected curators (apologies to those snubbed by the selection committee), and good luck to all those playing along.

"How Latitudes Become Forms" is one of the great exhibition title puns, but Vergne didn't make the cut. Maybe the selection committee will replace Gilbert with him, but there's a real crowded field of "bubble" candidates.

Some good picks here, but I see some upsets looming. Looks like 'establishment' curators got low seedings and I think they're going to take it out on those young guns.

Shouldn't this be re-titled as something like Contemporary Art Curatorial Championship?

I like it! Is Rugoff still elegible now that he's director of the Hayward? Sentimental favorite for me is Lu Jie

Who would I get in touch with if I have some questions about this? I'm a writer with ARTnews magazine and I'm wondering when this is supposed to end. Thanks!

As conoisseurship is essential in curatorial work, I'd rate Sarah Cook's chances for her fig cookies alone, and for offering a nice cup of tea and a sit down.

Nice site boys (I'm assuming you're boys for some reason, or maybe a boy).

Thanks for the tip (re: Sarah Cook). Even though this is a decidedly American structured event, given its relation to NCAA basketball, tea and fig cookies still score points with us...

I second Sarah Cook's competitive edge, as her fig cookies, tea, and civilized sit-down comprised without a doubt THE best curated aesthetic experience at ISEA 2006 in San Jose.
