metadata.value: The article analyzes the current state of curatorship and curating from a historical, theoretical
  and practical perspective. The aim is to understand the origin and the nature of the justified
  critique facing the profession nowadays from art institutions, artists, as well as from curators
  themselves, while exploring the challenges faced. The key historical developments of the profession
  are retraced, which nonetheless always had, to a certain extent, to come to terms with
  the main stakeholders of the industry: the artist, exhibiting institutions and the public. The
  profession’s interwoven position is further studied through a variety of positive and normative
  accounts from curators as well as from academia. These accounts make it possible to evaluate a
  profession whose complexity is reflected in its various practices, functions and officiating venues.
  Based on the historical and theoretical analysis, the authors explore the current position
  of the curator in the art field, as well as problems and criticism faced. Among them, significant
  attention in the article is paid to the ethical problems arising from the cooperation of curators
  with artists, institutions and the public, as well as to the alarming convergence of the functions
  of independent and museum curator and to the partially negative impact of working conditions
  on the quality of work of these professionals. The authors come to the conclusion that
  curatorship, because of its specific emergence in the world of art, faces new challenges that
  cannot be fully resolved because they are unavoidably placed between stakeholders sharing
  mostly antagonistic values.
