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, <i>Art Lies</i>, in conjunction with <b>Guest Editorial Contributor Julieta Aranda</b>, hereby announces the <b>Death of the Curator</b>. This is not a <i>coup d'état</i>, mind you, just a "modest proposal" of sorts. Why a <i>forensic analysis</i>…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, <i>Art Lies</i><br> <br><b>Feature Contributors:</b><br>Julieta Aranda & Jens Hoffmann <br>Fia Backström<br>J.C.
