Curatorial Market

a curatorial project devised by Swedish artist/curator Per Hüttner

At CUCHIFRITOS art gallery/project space.

Curatorial Market statement:

The work in the exhibition will be on display within and between Cuchifritos and the Essex St. Food Market. By moving the market into the gallery and the gallery into the market the project raises issues about what happens when borders are erased between artist and curator; art objects and commodities; gallery, shop and market. Curatorial Market is an experimental curatorial project, the fourth in Hüttner's series Curatorial Mutiny the last of which showed at Nylon Gallery, London in collaboration with Gavin Wade and Goshka Macuga. The fourth show brings together 11 internationally acclaimed artist/curators who all work at the cutting edge of redefining what curation and artistic practice can and should be.

Contemporary food markets offer visual, olfactory, cultural and culinary temptations/meetings from all over the world. Curatorial Market offers in a similar fashion an artistic smorgasbord where individual artistic projects overlap with curatorial endeavors to extend discussion on how consumer culture affects art and vice versa.

Curatorial Market is a collaboration between Per Hüttner and the following artists/curators:

Claire Canning - Barnaby Drabble - Grady Gerbracht - Tone Hansen - Tone O Nielsen - Patrick Bernier - Cesare PietroIusti - Max Presneill - Reid Shier - Gavin Wade.
