Przy całej przyjaźni. Kuratorowanie w sztukach performatywnych
With Complete Friendship. Curating in the Performative Arts

Summary/Abstract: The author attempts to qualify the notion of “art curator”: he sketches its history within the plastic arts, passing on to the issue of the curator’s role in the performative arts, while drawing attention to its flexible status, which arises from the specific qualities of theatre and dance. He also offers to respond to the question of the current nature of its status and what working with it actually entails, for example during the construction of programmes for theatre festivals. He highlights how important it is to contextualize performative works and writes about the problems and dangers that are bound up with this. While drawing attention to the importance of the role fulfilled by the programme designers on the theatre market who dictate the visibility of individual artists (“to curate” – he writes – “means to exclude”), the author does not omit economic and moral issues.
