Death of the Curator: A Forensic Analysis of Curatorial Practice
Whenever there is a rupture in the traditional fabric of cultural  
production, it is not unusual to cry hypothetical wolf. The death of  
the author, the death of the object, the cyclical zombification of  
painting, the collapse of the power of the critic: aphorisms abound  
and rebound, eventually comforting us through inevitable reification.  
But what if we were to shelve the ivory ping-pong paddles and take  
up, for instance, full contact paintball? It would certainly liven up  
the debate—and the playing field. In this spirit, Art Lies, in  
conjunction with Guest Editorial Contributor Julieta Aranda, hereby  
announces the Death of the Curator. This is not a coup d'état, mind  
you, just a "modest proposal" of sorts. Why a forensic analysis… 
because of its clinical connotation—because of the folds, overlaps  
and sutures that complicate the distinction between current  
curatorial and artistic practices. — Anjali Gupta, Editor, Art Lies
