Tiivistelmä
By using qualitative research interviews I have explored whether or not the curator can be seen as a
conceptual artist. The interviews in this study were conducted by a questionnaire to which the
respondents answered in writing, the questionnaire consisted of 37 questions. As analysis method
for the material gathered through interviews the bricolage method have been used for this study.
Other material used for this study includes for the subject relevant litterature and on-line content.
The respondents in this study are all active in curating others than themselves in exhibitions. The
result of the study leans towards a similarity between conceptual artists and curators in the way they
work. The study also includes the view of the respondents on the future of curating, the history of
curating, the role of economical and political institutions and how those and other factors affect the
work of a curator.
