>> My new role is Curator at Turner Contemporary, an arts organisation in
>> Margate, Kent soon (next year) to open a new gallery. The first big project
>> I’m really getting stuck into is a major exhibition now called Teenage,
>> which will open next summer. It will examine how Teenage – principally as a

>> for their youth, and media and capitalism do all they can to exploit that
>> image, but we also collectively fear them (if the press ‘they’ get is any
>> indication…)
>>
>>
>>
>> The project arose from lots of really good work they’ve been doing here
>> long before my time with both young people and older people reflecting on
>> their own experiences as teenagers. For those who don’t know it, Margate is
>> now quite a deprived town so many of their experiences are quite difficult,
>> but it also has a really interesting history wrt teenage – many people from
>> all over the country will have spent holidays here in their youth, and it
>> became quite famous as a place for different groups like Mods and Rockers to
>> hang out (and sometimes fight!). So many people have much more positive
>> memories and associations.
>>
>>
>>
>> The show will probably include artworks but also other stuff like music,
>> photographs, etc. I’m very very keen that it include some great media art
>> works and have been doing some research, but wondered if anyone had made,
>> seen or knew of any thing, recent or not so recent, that might be relevant
>> for me to look at.
>>
>>
>>
>> I’m also happy to hear your thoughts on the project generally, or your

>> together as a curator, esp as it’s being led by someone from our learning
>> team. It needs to be relevant to lots of different audiences – local,
