Abstract

How might the development of artist/curator practice into a philosophically-based praxis contribute to fine art critical discourse? Such questions are important in considering the role of artists within the institutional framework for legitimisation of a practice. Within the critical debate between the value of institutional decisions of what art gets shown, and the arguments pertaining to how art is shown as a legitimate concern, rests the potential of artist/curator practice to develop methodologies of self-reflection and communication. The later issues marrying with the institutional framework of legitimisation, brings the position of artist/curator into an activated role of co-arbiter with the arts institution. It is specifically this issue of communication which is of importance, and is the nexus for connecting with the institutional framework.
