Per Hüttner I am a Curator "I am a Curator" is an ambitious new project that empowers the viewer, giving Chisenhale Gallery's visitors the chance to be a curator for one day. Over the course of the project, prospective curators can book a one-day slot at Chisenhale, and each individual is then given the opportunity to curate their own exhibition during the course of the day. "I am a Curator" is an experiment in democratising the curatorial process. For Hüttner, democracy comes with great responsibility, and his project aims to encourage a dialogue about the complexity of the curatorial process. It also seeks to engage the visitor in a debate about the limits of interpretation of an artwork. The project starts with the question: what are the intentions of the artist, and are those intentions more truthful than the interpretation of the visitor? Per Hüttner divides his time between a solo photography-based practice that investigates notions of pleasure and pain and their position within our media saturated society; and his curatorial projects, the latter often involving a degree of intervention on the part of others. "I am a Curator" is collaboration between artist/curator Per Hüttner and A-clip, Jack Albin.
