Pierre Guillet de Monthoux Curating Capitalism – How Art Impacts Business, Management, and Economy

Abstract

Meeting with students a curator at an exhibition at the ZKM in Karlsruhe, I learned that curating is a public-making gesture, an exposing engagement and sharing that is reaching out while taking a stand towards the world, based on dialogues with all kinds of socio-material stakes and holders.
What might be understood by curating with or beyond the conventional or avant-garde understandings of curatorial work? How can doing curating work or plays offer new ways of sensing and making sense ? Can it provide new hybrid forms of art and business (and its nexus) related to our current society and economy and beyond for a different future to come?
