My job is art curator, not artist. All I have ever wanted to do is immerse myself in art, to enjoy it, to learn about it, to write about it, to talk to others about it.

The 21st-century curator works in a supremely globalised reality.

I see a curator as a catalyst, generator and motivator - a sparring partner, accompanying the artist while they build a show, and a bridge builder, creating a bridge to the public.

It's quite an obscure notion for a kid, no? To want to be a curator. But even then, I knew that I would do this.

There is nothing deeper than to work for a year with the same artist.

At a certain time, an artist needs a big retrospective. At other times, they need a more focused exhibition. It's a different story each time; it's about establishing a dialogue.
