A curator in the art world is a conductor of the project start. He is responsible not only for WHAT he exhibits, but also for HOW he does it, WHERE and WHY. All this together is called a concept. The curator is most often the author or co-author of the project. Curatorial activity is such a fundamentally different form of authorship in art. It is akin to directing.
The curator's battlefield at the exhibition is his ability, together with artists, to bring to life a common idea, to create harmony in the world. After all, an exhibition is a collective game in which the curator is looking for a connection between authors, types of art, genres. Stylistic. Coloristic. Substantial. Emotional. Textured. Anything. Or vice versa, opposing them to each other, emphasizes their dissimilarity and originality. As a result of all this, a new work of art is born - an exposition built according to all the laws of visual art. The main task, using color, light, the nature of objects, their location in space, to build a dialogue between them and, as a result, to create artistic image Exhibitions.
The exhibition is like a city. It is built according to the same laws. Wide avenues, small streets, squares and squares. Zakutochny and courtyards, vertical and horizontal. The task of the "architect" of this city is one - to make it convenient for movement, for viewing, diverse, rhythmically arranged so that both the viewer and the art at any point of it feel comfortable.
