- What happened to the expert curator? “people are creating meaning themselves – online, inside, outside and in rings around the snail-paced bureaucracy that has come to characterise most cultural institutions.” Daniel Blight for the Guardian.

- "Curators are nothing without art, no matter what the most meta-inclined of curatorial theorists might argue." Frieze's Dan Fox invites eight artists to reflect on Being Curated.

- 'The Importance of Curators.' Report from last month's conference Curators: Can't Live With Them, Can't Live Without Them at England's South Western Federation of Museums and Art Galleries.
