In the frame of CuMMA – Studies in Curating, Managing and Mediating Art at Aalto University, Council’s co-director Grégory Castéra did a talk on his curatorial practice, introduced by the following text.

« Since 2006 I have been developing a curatorial practice where most of my energy has been dedicated to build ecosystems of knowledge production and to compose the concerns of the public of an artwork – in other words I consider that curation relates first to the conditions of existence of an artwork before the work itself. I curate the public more than the artworks. Tonight, I will try to draw different influences and relations of this contemporary condition of curating. I will introduce a few intuitions, based on projects I did and on projects I followed, as subjects for a conversation. » – Grégory Castéra
