'Cultures of the Curatorial assumes a curatorial turn in contemporary cultural practice and discourse. Encompassing an area of knowledge concerning the conditions and relations of the appearance of art and culture, the curatorial has developed as field of overlapping and intertwining activities, tasks, and roles that were formerly divided and more clearly attributed to different professions, institutions, and disciplines. This development has affected the notion of curating—principally an activity of putting together—and widened its scope beyond showing or presenting to include enabling, making public, educating, analysing, criticising, theorising, editing, and staging. Embedded in the globalisation of the art field, on the one hand, and the conditions of labour in the twenty-first century, on the other, the curatorial has also gained a specific sociopolitical relevance within contemporary society.'
