Coordinating:
"The New Curator: Arbiter of Quality, Creator of Context
What's behind their choices " .
Moderated by Trudy Wilner Stack
 Speakers will address the traditional and changing role of the curator, and the relationship between curators and artists, curators and audiences, curators and the marketplace, and, finally, curators and the history and meaning of photography itself. These professionals are key catalysts in the field, whether they are independent or represent public institutions or private entities. Venues for the work of curators will be examined from the gallery to the Internet, from the printed page to the lectern, from the vault to the artist’s studio. Each participant will offer an overview of her own priorities and process, and then evaluate the influence and future of the curatorial contribution.

Presenters include:
  Charlotte Cotton, Head of Cultural Programmes, Art + Commerce
  Deborah Willis, PhD, Professor of Photography and Imaging, NYU
  Christiane Paul, Adj. Curator of New Media Arts, Whitney  Museum of American Art
