Artist – Curator – Cultural Producer

Subject(s): Theatre, Dance, Performing Arts
Published by: Instytut im. Jerzego Grotowskiego
Keywords: Artist; Curator; Performing Arts; Cognitive Capitalism

Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to explain the artist (as well as the intellectual, scholar, and curator) as a cultural producer. What are his/her work models, and how has his/her role changed in cognitive capitalism, based on the production of knowledge? What are the conditions of a cultural producer's work, what methods are used to make decisions, and how do they affect the circulation of art? To this end she analyzes the artist's position and significance in transformations taking place in the performance sphere. While appreciating the gravity of all the changes that have occurred, Keil notes that it is too early to proclaim a "curatorial turn," though the presence of this profession undoubtedly affects the art production process.
