Lecture on the critic and the curator
The Critic and the Curator. Beside his rectorship and teaching at the Stadelschule and his curatorial practice as director of Portikus, Birnbaum has been involved in several biennials in recent years: in the 50th Venice Biennale, the Moscow Biennials and as a committee member of the International Foundation Manifesta. What is the role of the art critic today? What is the role of the curator? Daniel Birnbaum gives some examples from recent projects.
