The Curator

The Curator

Categories:

This one is somewhat presumptious of me. I really ought to leave this to Colm. But at least he can use these ramblings as a starting point and refine them into something meaningful.

The primary function is to assemble works in meaningful ways. In a traditional gallery the assembled works become an exhibition (or a happening if Yoko Ono's around). Exhibitions aren't random collections of work. They have themes and are built around ideas. The Curator defines the theme and selects appropriate pieces of work. Sometimes pieces may be arranged so that there is a flow through the work, so that pieces complement each other.

In a Web-based environment tools can be used to assist Curators in their work. Imagine a tool (Web page, Ajax application) which shows thumbnails of each work (I'm not defining what thumbnail might mean for new Media Art). These thumbnails could be selected to make an exhibition and then dragged around to create an order.

Where does the work come from? How do artists contact the curator and make their pieces available. Mailing lists or self-registration on the site are obvious ways forward. However artists sign up the curator needs to keep in regular contact with them letting them know when submissions open for an exhibition, when their works have been selected or rejected.

Curators and artists will want to keep in contact, this may be done through mailing lists, forums or blogs. The curator will need to manage all of this.

Works may be hosted by a curator on their servers or may be hosted remotely and accessed through URIs. Where remote hosts are used curators may want to check that those links remain active and will need support (or automation) in doing this.

Exhibitions have to be advertised. Marketing is outside the scope of this project. The front page of any "gallery" type site will have to enable listings of exhibitions.

kurator.org extends some of the online systems that question the role of the curator in the curatorial process of selection, presentation and distribution of immaterial artworks (most notably runme, artport or low-fi). A new, open and experimental system is currently in development, that puts into practice some of the ideas and questions that the conference aims to raise.

The project recognises the recent practice and discussions around 'software art' and posits the idea of 'software curating'. In this way, it encapsulates some of the ways in which work of an immaterial nature challenges some of the orthodoxies around the practice of curating and some of the social relations it elicits.

Essentially it will speculate upon future possibilities in this emergent field of practice, in which curating and artistic expression are bound together in new ways and in which the production of software extends beyond off-the-shelf proprietary models.

The Kurator software is a collaboration between the programmer Grzesiek Sedek, and the curator Joasia Krysa.
