Sweet Oblivion: Curating and Cultural Practice

Synopsis

Britain has seen an explosion of temporary art spaces and galleries, often run by young artists rather than art dealers. British artists who have performed both roles consider their relationship with the practice of curating and why it is important for artists to take control in this fashion. With Sirag Izhar, Virginia Nimarkoh, Claire Cumberlidge, Ingrid Swenson.
