The American academic has long defied genres, troubling archives with her own, much celebrated method of critical fabulation. In this ambitious new multi-media performance, Hartman ask what the end of this world will look like. Celine Condorelli and Gavin Wade, Support Structure, 2003-04, Chisenhale Gallery, London From the Back Catalogue The New Curation Mark Hutchinson argues that new approaches to curating offer merely the aestheticisation of politics first published in 2004, now free online For a politicised faction of Conceptual Art, the curator was the enemy: a bureaucratic manager complicit in the process of the institutionalisation, normalisation and recuperation of artistic production; someone whose job was to come between art and its projected community.
