Curatorial processes, prevalent across diverse artistic domains, have emerged as the focal point of contemporary artistic research practices. Although this movement is not novel, its significance has become evident as the curator’s role has become pivotal in shaping the connection between artistic works and the community. Consequently, the term “curator” has transcended the visual arts, finding its way into other fields such as cinema and critical thinking. This Spring Seminar aims to delve into these curatorial practices, drawing insights from case studies, historical references, and contemporary experiences, particularly in fields where curatorial practices have assumed central importance.
