Trots presenteren wij de nieuwe CP deelnemers 2014-2015: Barbara Cueto (1986, Spain), Bas Hendrikx (1986, the Netherlands), Chiara Ianeselli (1989, Italy), Inga Lāce (1986, Latvia), Lian Ladia (1979, Philippines), Rani Lavie (1978, Israel).
De zes deelnemers zijn geselecteerd vanuit een grote hoeveelheid aanmeldingen door een internationale jury, bestaande uit Mai Abu ElDahab (curator Liverpool Biennial), Lorenzo Benedetti (directeur de Appel), Hou Hanru (directeur MAXXI, Rome), Saskia van der Kroef (coördinator Curatorial Programme), Christina Li (onafhankelijk curator), Francis McKee (directeur CCA, Glasgow) en Barbara Visser (beeldend kunstenaar).
Elk jaar neemt de Appel arts centre zes jonge curatoren onder haar vleugels voor een intensief professioneel ontwikkelingsprogramma. Gedurende een periode van tien maanden krijgt de groep een reeks seminars, workshops, internationale excursies, praktijk-gerelateerde opdrachten en ontmoetingen met kunstenaars en andere kunstprofessionals aangeboden. Het programma wordt afgesloten met een eindproject dat door de deelnemers zelf wordt samengesteld.
