‘Curators are, above all, the institutionally recognized experts of the artworld establishment, whether they operate in an institution or independently. More than art critics or gallery dealers, they establish the meanings and status of contemporary art through its acquisition, exhibition, and interpretation.’
Mari Carmen Ramirez, Curator of Latin American Art (in Read, 2014)
