The curator as artist. Questioning about its limits
Journal Title: UcoArte. Revista de Teoría e Historia del Arte - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 5
Abstract
The figure of the curator encloses many of the powers that we regard as proper of the artist. This text aims to draw attention to the artistry that is present in the work of the curator, a task in which we will be accompanied by important authors as the always great Oscar Wilde, who in his famous essay "The Critic as Artist" -which baptise this paper- tried to build a parallel argument.
