I like to create a common ground of understanding, and after exchanging ideas, to negotiate and feel a full communication and an enthusiastic agreement to develop the project. I am informed through many sources. My research is a continuous and open process. I travel, visit exhibitions, and read the magazines and catalogues for shows that I don t see personally. I exchange ideas with other curators.
Artists are a good resource about other artists.
Philosophy and cultural theory are also components which fuel my interpretations. Artists who reflect the moment and who go beyond accepted conceptual and formal disciplines are choice. For example, I believe painting has elaborated a historically important discourse and has strong meaning, yet in the context of a biennial which looks beyond the present and into the future, the discipline of painting is unrenovated. Video and photography are renovating painting. Biennials are transgenerational and transnational and describe newly interconnected strategies.
