One of the major problems of young curators and artists is that they lack the opportunity to promote themselves internationally. As a direct result of this, they usually concentrate on collaborations on a national level. This makes, that especially the young curators obtain an outstanding knowledge of the national art-scene and the up-and-coming local artists who have not yet been included in the well-known international art circles. But their projects, exhibitions, works and events are - although highly interesting - fairly unknown on an international level.Curators Network is a project of five curators and their cultural non-profit organizations from Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and Spain which opts for interconnecting and exchanging the local knowledge for the mutual benefit of all implicated parties: artists, curators and cultural organizations.The exchange of knowledge will be realized through an event that each curator organizes in his home country and to which he invites the other members of the network: It consists of a portfolio review with 20 national artists, where the other members of the network are the reviewers and a "Fair of Ideas", an informal meeting with panel talks, where local cultural players get together with their international counterparts. The information of the 100 artists that will be presented in the reviews will be published in a database, which is planned to be the core of a European database . After finishing the five events, the members will curate an exhibition-project which will take place simultaneasly in five art-spaces of Madrid, featuring 10 of the artists that have been presented at the portfolio review.
