Curationism

These days you can curate everything from a prize-winning art exhibition to a cheese board, but what does the term's growing popularity mean for the skills it represents? David Balzer's book, 'Curationism: How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else' looks at the definition of the word curator through art history and around the world. In this trio of discussions he'll explore what curation's newfound popularity says about culture's relationship with taste, as well as introducing its professionals, from Subway's 'sandwich artists' to the powerful names who rule the art world.
