Pursuits Share Ahead of her official appointment as Tai Kwun’s senior curator for heritage & digital, Ying Kwok takes us through a year of exhibitions, highlighting the role of a curator in shaping artists, art and the art world at large. The prevalence of the term “curated” in contemporary culture has undoubtedly undermined the role of an art curator – these days, the word has devolved into a fancier term for “selected”. But it would be a mistake to assume that curators in an art-world context do no more than choose which paintings hang upon a wall in a show. That part is probably the easiest bit of Ying Kwok’s job.
