Århus Kunstbygning and Institute of Aesthetics and Communication at Aarhus
University, Denmark, host a public conference and a research workshop to
examine the role of the curator in contemporary culture addressing the
following questions:
* How curatorial agency manifests itself in the shifting and expanded field
of production?
* How to balance artistic decision, institutional strategy and curatorial
power?
* How co-productive exhibition processes, and multiple agencies and actors
can be represented in the final exhibition-form
* How algorithmic culture relates to curating? What are the new ways of
thinking and conceptualising curatorial processes in relation to the
performances of machines and automatisms derived from algorithms?
