Possible Encounters

How can the emotional conditions that lie behind the sensitive and complex relationship between artist and curator be understood as part of the practice of exhibition making? And where can the line be drawn between a form of cultural politics and mere career oppurtunism? Whose responsible for understanding and defining the terms of the relationship and how? And is it possible to therefore build a relationship where discovery is still possible? And finally what kind of landscape are we forced to share and negotiate?
