Abstract

This paper examines processes traditionally involved in curatorial practices and how they have been historically defined in contraposition to the artistic gesture. It will outline curatorship’s institutional origin, the renegotiation of the curator’s role during modernity, and some contemporary perspectives over independent curating. Throughout this course, it will analyze how exhibition projects made both by curators and artists have actively contributed to the production of artistic works and the consolidation of certain techniques and languages. Finally, it will propose that curatorial practices could be better understood in terms of exhibition designing.
