The Curator
Artist:
Shahar Marcus
Technique:
video
Measurement:

Date:

The work is a travesty of a typical Hollywood film trailer. The artist grotesquely shows how a curator who is supposed to set new trends in art gains power. The artistic circles, here full of seemingly profound slogans and gestures, are depicted with a pinch of humour. The artist criticises the superficial nature of the art world and the often overestimated role of curator.
