Although I don't want to dampen the interesting theoretical threads
here unnecessarily, I do note that nobody has answered Sarah's
initial question, "how much is what you do worth?"
I'm not a curator, so I can't say. As a practitioner/educator I would
say more than most middle managers in commercial companies,
definitely more than a hairdresser, less than a CEO and about the
same as a Creative Director in an ad agency. I can put a number to
that if anyone would like.
It's perhaps the lack of willingness to put out a clear price on what
we/you do that makes it so easy for it so be so quickly de-valued by
others.
I know this is unlikely, but is there anyone on this list who used to
be a lawyer and is now a curator? I'd be interested in their
perspective...
