‘I am a Curator’ is initiated and directed by Per Hüttner, a Paris-based Swedish artist-curator. To realise the project, Hüttner is collaborating with a number of international artists, curators, artist-groups, architects, organisers, critics, assistants and designers.
‘I am a Curator’ is an experiment in democratising the curatorial process. For Hüttner, democracy comes with great responsibility, and his project aims to encourage a dialogue about the complexity of the curatorial process. It also seeks to engage the visitor in a debate about the limits of interpretation of an artwork. The project starts with the question: what are the intentions of the artist, and are those intentions more truthful than the interpretation of the visitor?
Per Hüttner’s recent exhibitions and projects include: Kontainer, Los Angeles (solo, 2003); Redefining the La-La-La Landscape, Helen Pitt Gallery, Vancouver (2003); Fadren, Platform, Vasa, Finland (solo, 2002); 3 in 1, Nylon Gallery, London (2001); All we need is a preacher and a Motel, La Friche Belle de Mai, Marseille (2001). Per Hüttner was co-founder and co-director of Konstakuten, an artist-run space in Stockholm from 1996-2001, and was founder-director of The Hood Gallery, Los Angeles (2002-2003). ‘I am a Curator’ is supported by: The Canada High Commission, London; Billedkunstrådet, Copenhagen; RSA, London; Nordiska Ministerrådet/Nordic Council of Ministers, Copenhagen. _____________________________________________ CHISENHALE GALLERY encourages and promotes innovation and experimentation in contemporary visual art.
