The Nature of Curating
The ongoing project aims to increase awareness of the importance and necessity of curatorial engagement. It comprises a series of interviews with a diverse group of international curators, each with their own unique backgrounds and perspectives. The interviews explore fundamental questions about curating and emphasize the crucial role that curators play in shaping the art world. Additionally, the project delves into topics such as the nationalization of contemporary art and the use of alternative spaces, providing valuable insights into the Iranian art scene. By examining the cultural, social, and political contexts that influence contemporary art in Iran, this project promises to make a significant contribution to the discourse on curatorial practice. If there are specific areas of interest that you would like to explore further, please do not hesitate to ask.
