Interesting article about the recent BICI conference at The Banff Centre

Here's a link to an article in Canadian Art written by Nancy Tousley about last weekend's "Are Curator's Unprofessional" Conference at the Banff Centre:

Are Curators Unprofessional? : Group Practices

I think it's interesting how she picked up on one of the things I noticed as an artist : the reluctance of the panelists to touch on the relationship/power relations between the artist and curator. I also really appreciated Ann Demester's candid presentation on her concerns within the larger cultural context and the increasing influence of right-wing politicians.

An interesting weekend.
