The Curator's Novel
Ensemble
This Ensemble is the result of a research project on the curator's novel, carried out by The Book Lovers (artist David Maroto and curator Joanna Zielińska). The curator's novel is a term that refers to those instances in which a curator employs their novel as a mediating device. Whereas some curators conceive the creation of their novel within the limits of a literary ambition (and, in that sense, would not be different from any other literary novel), others employ it as a curatorial tool that enables them to engage with their own practice by means of narrative, fiction, imagination, identification, and a deceleration of the artistic experience.
From that viewpoint, the curator’s novel could be said to operate similarly to the artist’s novel.
