Now that we `curate` even lunch, what happens to the role of the connoisseur in contemporary culture? ` Curate` has become a buzzword, applied to everything from music festivals to artisanal cheese. Inside the art world, the curator reigns supreme, acting as the face of high-profile group shows in a way that can eclipse the contributions of individual artists. At the same time, curatorial-studies programs continue to grow, & businesses are adopting curation as a means of adding value to content. Everyone, it seems, is now a curator. But what is a curator, exactly? & what does the explosive popularity of curating say about our culture`s relationship with taste, labour & the avant-garde? In this vibrant & original book, David Balzer travels through art history & around the globe to explore the cult of curation, where it began, how it came to dominate museums & galleries, & how it emerged at the turn of the millennium as a dominant mode of thinking & being
- from superstar curator Hans Ulrich Obrist`s war with sleep to Subway`s `sandwich artists.` Recalling such landmark works of cultural criticism as Tom Wolfe`s The Painted Word & John Berger`s Ways of Seeing, Balzer asks whether curationism has finally reached its own limits, where its widespread success has paradoxically led to its own demise.
