“For me, the role and responsibility of a curator today go beyond writing about political engagement; it’s about being actively engaged, caring deeply, and fostering long-lasting relationships with artists and their work.”

“To be a curator is a privilege. The role affords the opportunity to spotlight or champion the work of others. There is a great responsibility in holding this type of position [...]”

“I experience my profession as extremely contradictory and I think that enduring contradictions is one of our most important tasks today. But of course, enduring is not enough. Constantly questioning our own privileges, [...], should lead to an even greater change in our curatorial approaches.”

“As a curator, I would like to help create mutual understanding, and to facilitate the exploration of new social needs and impulses, because in many ways, art offers a means of finding a language with which to do so.”

“From a crafty politician to an inspired thinker, from an erudite museographer to a creative inquisitor, all these are “hats” that the curator must wear.”

“I have become more and more interested in creating the right match between artistic practices and locations that have their own history by commissioning site-specific works.”

“My practice is deeply informed by place. Being located outside of a major art city, I often find myself thinking about place and its impact on artists, their work, and their sense of community.”

“Every new project is truly different to the previous one. Avoiding repetition is something I strive for. I like projects that involve the creation of new art and increasingly work with immaterial art works.”

“To be a curator is to be open to continuous learning and to be able to stand up for an idea, an artist and ones own work.”

“Ultimately, being a curator is about supporting artists and I want to use my platform to ensure that the artists we work with have a valuable experience that allows their practice to develop further.”

“To be a curator today means to me an active and creative role in society and to explore what does freedom of art within life-sustaining systems mean.”

“I view the role of the art exhibition curator as an inherently creative and innovative, capable of inventing the appropriate setting and scenario to facilitate the most fruitful encounter between a specific artist and a particular audience in a specific space. This is why I often express a preference for the term ‘conversator’ rather than ‘conservator’.”

“In today's dynamic cultural landscape, being a curator today involves embracing the dynamic intersection of art, culture, and technology, while shouldering the responsibility of shaping meaningful narratives within an ever-evolving global context.”

“A curator in the contemporary art world is an observer of society, both an enabler of artistic creation and a filter between art and its audience. ”

“As contemporary curators, we serve as vital information hubs, weaving connections between artists, artworks, and even transcending various fields.”

“In my view, the curator is akin to a sensitive researcher who seeks to “chat” and generate debates at different levels through the artistic experience and the combination of artworks, ideas, or actions.”

“Power, belief, and the perception of reality are constantly shaped and shared within society, and understanding this interplay is crucial for comprehending the evolution of both society and art.”

“As curators we should be pushing the expectations for contemporary curatorial work and engaging strategies of mutual aid when (un)learning, interacting with, experiencing, and communicating knowledge.”

“Today, in the field of contemporary art, there is much more freedom, to cross genres, and to cross roles, for example between artist/curator.”

“It’s fundamental for me to use my voice and deep expertise to shape the world, to empower artists and female artists and to have an impact on art and culture through inclusivity, diversity, equality, and in my case, through new technologies.”
