Naming a Practice: Curatorial Strategies for the Future

Abstract

This publication is the full record (including papers, organizers' commentaries, and discussions transcripts) of a six-day seminar on curating in the visual arts, held in 1994 at the Banff Centre for the Arts and involving 29 (mostly Canadian) participants. Various phenomena and issues that have affected curatorial practices over the last decades are addressed: the local knowledge vs. new internationalism debate; the methodologies involved in producing exhibitions; possible definitions of curatorial practice; and curatorial ethics. Discussions include the impact of new technologies, the status of the independent curator, and the curator/artist relationship. Biographical notes on contributors. Circa 55 bibl. ref.
