Abstract: DEVELOPMENT OF CURATING AND MEDIATING CONTEMPORARY ART

We have been asked to speak here about the development of curating and mediating contemporary art. This is a wide field; therefore I would like to put possible answers and indeed even questions in a broad historical and theoretical context:

There are three main questions:
• Where are we? In respect of curating and art mediation
• Where do we come from?
• Where are we going?
