Curating Art Now is a timely reflection on the practice of curating
and the role of the art curator during a period of rapid change.
Curating has a pivotal position in the art world: it is embedded in
the identity and expertise of the museum and plays an
ever-increasing role in the commercial art sector too. Current
curatorial practice encompasses a wide range of activities, from
the care of collections in museums to the presentation of
large-scale contemporary biennials, and from collaboration with
artists to presentations of work on digital platforms. Curating has
grown substantially in the last decades, and in the early 2020s is
undergoing a significant period of transition as it grapples with
some fundamental questions. How diverse and inclusive is curating
as a profession, and how does that inform the art and artists who
come to prominence? How possible is it to conduct exploratory and
inclusive curatorial work in the challenging economic climate of
the early 2020s? What is the extent of a curator's autonomy within
the various institutions and structures in which they work, and
what power dynamics are at work between artists and curators?
Finally, how might digital art and exhibition-making give way to
hybrid forms of practice, and even challenge the face of
traditional curating? Lilian Cameron's lively review addresses all
of these issues, and considers the future landscape of curating in
an uncertain world.
