ARTIST VS CURATOR/CURATOR VS ARTIST

this is a great 2 year project from Vienna-based curator Miriam Kathrein. The project is based on the debate and visualisation of "...the relationship and shifting roles of artists and curators in contemporary art and the resulting consequences in art production. The latest work in this project is a collaboration with graphic designer Alva Unger, wherein three artist/curator pairs responded to selected texts that focus on notions of "expertise, authority, authorship, collaboration, intermediary, curator as artist, roles and competition"

Saltz and Deitch lecture

I was at this lecture a couple of months ago. It somehow clarified my fears about how art and the art world is going to be in the future. The PT designed the poster for the lecture at the ICA here in Philly. It is pretty good to hear a critic and a gallery owner come to similar conclusions about the future of art.
