Synopsis

The curatorial has developed as a field of overlapping and intertwining activities, tasks, and roles that formerly were more clearly attributed to different professions, institutions, and disciplines. This development has affected the notion of curating principally an activity of putting together and widened its scope beyond presenting to include enabling, making public, educating, analyzing, criticizing, theorizing, editing and staging. Embedded in the globalization of the art field, on the one hand, and the conditions of labor in the 21st century, on the other, the curatorial has also gained a specific socio political relevance within contemporary society. Contributions from Beatrice von Bismarck, Gabriele Brandstetter, Helmut Draxler, among others.
