For many people the term "curator" has yet enigmatic meaning when it is mentioned in art, and even more so in the artistic context of Bolivia.
could say that the curator was in principle, someone who looked after in a more or less broad, exhibitions in museums. Then, with the appearance of new works of art proposed by the early avant-garde, the relationships between artistic practice and the public become more complex and less traditional, generating new ways of communicating, new features, new offices, and museums are forced to modify the terms and conceptual space to "save" and art show and emerged as the modern museum major fracture in the history of museology.
The curator appears as specialized intermediaries and institutional guidance will allow a relationship not only between the expectations of the people and works of art, but also between cultural institutions and artistic production.
The curators are present, the most influential architects of the interpretation and analysis of contemporary art production line, enabling a coherent reading and guidance which includes the design of exhibitions and the establishment of guiding principles for the formation of institutional libraries, corporations and private.
In short, health and the fate of the visual arts seem to have been entrusted to the curatorial criteria, as these are the ones that legitimize and reinforce the value of the artwork and also produce cultural meaning.
Four views of curators recognized discharged from the practice of curatorial: Ivo Mosque (Brazil): "The curator is a professional who collects pieces, fragments new worlds, which includes parts of private universes ... significant that organizes groups of disordered, setting directions and markers to make maps of contemporary art ... reveals no sense, but creates it. "Andreas Huyssen (Germany):" Heal, today, means mobilizing collections, moving them within the walls of the museum ... as well as the heads of the spectators. "
Achille Bonito Oliva (Italy): the healer" ... facing a new class of non-specialists, instant, intercultural, transnational. This is where the curator or curatorial activity was taken as a translation, retrofitting specialized content ".
María Luz Cárdenas (Venezuela):" A conservator is a person under whose responsibility is the care of exhibitions and collections. Is the one who serves, directs, and conducts its guidelines define theoretical, conceptual and ideological, and who ensures consistency, clarity and definition visual assembly.
In Bolivia, the office of curator is not institutionally established. The few people who work as curators do so casual and almost outside the official institutions. This is, of course, in relation to particular artistic development that has occurred in our country.
As in most Latin American countries assumed the artistic practice of the modern changes in Bolivia, were still in force in general, academic concepts of nineteenth century Europe.
Consequently, there was no need to change, no spaces or concepts museum or museums.
Only in recent years, due to phenomena of integration and commitment to the international art community curatorial duties have been improvised situational specific.
There are clear indications that this will change, which no doubt has to do with the process of transition which Bolivian art of Indeed, I Contemporary Art Contest sponsored by the city of Cochabamba had a curator for the first time in the history of art competitions in Bolivia. Also, the biennial International Exhibition of Art (SIART) based in La Paz, provides curatorial assistance, but still no museum, cultural institution or gallery, is on the ground of their staff to the official curator.
The importance of the figure of the curator is undoubtedly connected with the specific characteristics of contemporary art in its relationship with the world.
time would be appropriate to assimilate what happens outside our borders, and analyze usually involves risks currently held by the conservator. While
are healers who often articulate new ways of understanding contemporary art, the artists who created and revolutionized the sensitivity patterns. This method requires an ongoing dialogue that involves defining the role of each. On the other hand, it is necessary to establish a boundary between the exhibitions in which the works become objects of a facility, under the idea of \u200b\u200bthe curator-and those exhibitions where the presence of the healer is dissolved allowing each artist and his work can assessed individually.
