自2013年成立以來，十方藝術中心不斷的以開放的態度探索扎根中國現場的工作方法，並嘗試與各方聯動，共促良好的學術生態。從2014年持續至今的十方國際藝術駐留計劃（DAIR）很好的踐行了這一點。經過半年的籌備，我們於2018年啓動了十方青年策展人計劃。十方青年策展人實踐計劃包含「策展人駐留招募」和「青年策展人展覽實踐」兩部分。

「策展人駐留招募」與原有的國際駐留計劃相疊加，通過駐留平台的公開招募，吸納國內外的青年策展人前來駐留，以異地視角來開展在地實踐。給本土藝術群體帶來開闊的視野和不一樣的策展工作方法。

「青年策展人展覽實踐」以十方國際藝術駐留計劃為平台實踐起始，在駐留展覽框架和社會實踐現場下，為青年策展人提供學術性展覽策劃實踐機會。在本計劃中，青年策展人從自身學術角度出發，以藝術家駐留創作為樣本案例，以「執行策展人」或「策展人」的身份，進行藝術家駐留展覽的策劃實踐。青年策展人通過面對不同類型藝術家和藝術展覽，共同直面社會現場與在地文化脈絡，進行跨領域、跨媒介、跨學科研究實踐和知識積累，進而促進其自身學術理論、社會認識、策展實踐能力的綜合性提升。

藝術展覽作為藝術公共性呈現的載體，策展人重點在於如何有效的建立公共交流語境和藝術內容的公共性轉化，從而搭建藝術與公眾對話的橋梁。通常成熟策展人具備獨立完整的多學科理論體系與廣域社會現場的認知。

Since its establishment in 2013, Dimensions Art Center has continuously explored working methods rooted in Chinese society with an open attitude and tried to interact with all social sectors and promote a great academic ecology. DAC Artists In Residency (DAIR), which lasted from 2014 to the present, has realized the above ideology very well. After half a year of preparation, we launched DAC Emerging Curator Program（DECP） in 2018. The DECP includes two parts: “Recruitment of Curators in Residency” and “Emerging Young Curator for Exhibition Practice”.

The “Recruitment of Curators in Residency” was implemented jointly with the DAC Artists In Residency (DAIR) through the open recruitment of the residency platform to attract young curators from home and abroad to reside in and carry out the local on-site practice, to bring a broad vision and unique curatorial work methods to the local art community.

The “Emerging Young Curator for Exhibition Practice” started with the DAC Artists In Residency (DAIR) practice platform. Under the framework of the residency exhibition and social practice, it provides young curators with academic exhibition curation opportunities. In this project, young curators, starting from their academic perspective, take artist-in-residence creations as sample cases, and carry out the planning and practice of exhibitions as “executive curators” or “curators.” Young curators will face different types of artists and art exhibitions, face society and local culture together, conduct cross-field, cross-media, and cross-disciplinary research practice and knowledge accumulation, and then promote their academic theories and social cognition. 

As the carrier of the public presentation of art, art exhibitions focus on effectively establishing the context of public communication and the public transformation of art content, to build a bridge between art and the public. Usually, mature curator exhibitors have an independent and complete multi-disciplinary theoretical system and wide-area social field knowledge.
