Schwarzwälder, Lind weave a lively discussion on two

different perspectives on curating. One attempts to explore the
exhibition format along all its paths, including those seldom taken;
the other has an “expanded” conception whose main goal is to
make art become public. The problem remains that of quality,
which in the present productive

risk.
 

JENS HOFFMANN: Curating, to me, is fundamentally linked to exhibition making. I feel some


frustration with how the term “curating” has been adopted by all sorts of fields to describe any
process that involves making a selection of something. DJs curate the music lineup at a party, cooks
curate the menu at a restaurant, decorators curate the living rooms of clients, and so on. For me
curating is about formulating a certain theory or argument, based upon which one makes a selection

curating is connected with art itself, with its sensibility, attitude etc. My process starts with art rather
26.08.2021 READING TIME 6 ′ NEWS
than theories or arguments, which enter at a later stage. My tendency is also to challenge the status
quo, not for its own sake but because the current conditions are often problematic, or insufficient.
For example, when I was directing Kunstverein München we did a retrospective with Christine
Borland for the duration of a year, in which only one work was shown at a time, and this was
intimately connected to how her work operates. It is dense, it requires a lot of time to make and then
to engage with, and it also deals with the passage of time. Or our work on Rirkrit Tiravanija’s
retrospective that took the form of a weekend meeting and then a weeklong workshop with his
former students, as well as curators and critics, who have engaged with his work over time. The
ALEX TURGEON HENRIK OLAI KAARSTEIN ...
format was closely related to the logic of the work. What specifically do you think needs exploration
in terms of exhibition making today? Particular exhibition formats? From my point of view,
“Hopeless Romantics”
exhibition making works best at
as aFUTURA, Prague
somewhat organic process, not solely based on calculated and pre-
programmed upheaval. To say that curating equals exhibition making is like saying that art is the
same as painting. Both painting and exhibition making have been dominating their respective fields.
Which is too reductive.

JH: I do not think your analogy makes any sense. Painting and curating are totally different activities,
with very different objectives and histories. If someone says that art equals painting then that is fine;
it is their opinion. I see lots of curatorial work that is about other things besides curating exhibitions,
but it just doesn’t interest me at all.

ML: By the way, it is a misconception that I have abandoned exhibition making. All along I have

Modena And so have many
other curators who have simultaneously embraced other ways of allowing art to exist. It is about
what makes the most sense in relation to the kind of art, the time, and the place.

exhibitions without art, working with artists on projects without ever producing anything that could
be exhibited. I would not be worried about it if I saw it only here and there, but there is a big push
