The Horizontal Portfolio Reviews are meeting spaces between eight gallery owners, curators and facilitators from around the world with the participants and artists who participate in the workshop to improve their proposals so that they can be selected and exhibited internationally. Next summer, the focus will be on having a robust, interactive exchange of ideas where participants benefit not only by receiving feedback on their work but also by providing critical feedback for their peers. Participants will be asked to present a PDF portfolio to the group, and the group - in turn - will be challenged to think critically about their peers’ presentations, assessing the portfolio design, the presentation, and the work itself. Participants will also be asked to step into the role of curator by selecting the work of one of their peers and (anonymously) advocating for that work explaining what it was about the compelling work. On the tangible curatorial side, participants will have the opportunity to meet with facilitators and curators who represent galleries worldwide and will choose artists to exhibit internationally.
