As artistic
practices have expanded beyond the boundaries of the production of objects, often
incorporating historical context, editing and interpretation — work typically associated with the curator — we are seeing a blurring of the boundaries between the artist and the curator, and the evolution of a
hybrid practice, the artist / curator.
