Convergences among the Intangible, the Artistic and the Curatorial in Contemporary Non-Object-Based Practices
Main Article Content
Abstract
This text posits that the ways of doing linked to the intangible had an important role in the consolidation of contemporary curatorship and in the establishment of the figure of the curator-as-artist. Expressions of it can be found in the performative shift undergone by the exhibition in recent years, which has led to the emergence of proposals such as A Choreographed Exhibition by Mathieu Copeland. This show is taken here as an example since, in it, numerous connections among the intangible, the curatorial and the artistic are manifest. Also, both in this exhibition and the publication derived from it, many of the reflections pointed out by Beti Žerovc in her extensive analysis on contemporary curatorship are identified. These two books, along with Boris Groys' reflection on exhibition authorship, and extracts from my doctoral thesis, which focused on the search of the minimum artistic gesture in non-object-based and undocumented practices, are the main references used in the preparation of this article.
