The (o-gil-vie) platform is exploring the role of the curator and how exhibitions are curated, in doing so providing a critique of previous models, reviewing current and seeking future modes and exemplar. Some questions to get you thinking: What are the different goals between the institutional and independent curator?
How close should the relationship between artist and curator be? How much influence do curators have/ should(not) have in determining the modern?
The following piece by Kate Fowle maps the 'role' of the curator from the 17th Century to present, have a read through and leave your comments on the overall topic of curator and curating below in the comments section.

Design Art is a name coined in the last few years for a category of work which is not craft – with its basket work and potters wheel image, nor is it fine art – with its astronomical prices. Currently, it is a booming sector in Europe and the U.S., where it has spawned new shows in London, Paris, Basle and New York. The word embraces three dimensional one–off objects from furniture to jewellery, glass and ceramics, .created by a new brand of artists often working in mixed media, and calling themselves ‘designer makers’ to distinguish them from artists in the normal sense of the word - painters and sculptors.
