Dear List,
This series of events looks interesting, in particular in relation to
the 'curator as editor' debate.
Yours

> Witte de With presents a program of three symposia, titled Rotterdam
> Dialogues: Critics, Curators, Artists. Structured to establish a
> lively platform for debate, they explore the practice of three of the
> central protagonists of the contemporary art world: the critic, the
> curator and the artist. Are these still the cultural actors who decide
> what is made, what is seen, and whether it is any good?
>
> The art critic will be the subject of the first symposium, to be held
> on 9, 10 & 11 October 2008. The speakers include an international
> spectrum of art critics, from as far afield as Manila, New York,
> Istanbul and Montreal, along with several voices from closer to home.
> Together they represent a range of media, from glossy art magazines,
> to online blogs and daily newspapers. Speakers from the world of
> academia will also be present, along with several artists who write.
