Dear List,
On Saturday I attended the Curating, Immateriality, Systems
conference at Tate Modern, and some interesting themes emerged. I'll
mention just one below, but also wanted to mention that Sarah Cook,
with myself, will be moderating an online panel discussion following
up this event (there is also an associated public forum). The online
panel includes Christiane Paul, Charlie Gere, Patrick Lichty and
Trebor Scholz, and starts on 13th June. See
http://www.tate.org.uk/contact/forums/online events
One theme from the conference that I thought might relate most
strongly to past debates (especially March 2003) on this list is the
'curatorial models' or metaphors: The 'curator as editor' model
occurred most frequently in the conference, and Christiane Paul also
referred to Anne-Marie Schleiner's 'curator as filter' model.
Franziska Nori pointed out that the diversity of skills needed means
that it's important to work in teams (echoes of Barnaby Drabble's
"co-producer" or even "multitasking maniac" from last month's
discussion perhaps?)
The Conference webcast is being archived, and so forms a very useful
resource, so please do comment either on this List or on the Tate,
Yours,
Beryl
