CURATORS’ SIGNATURES: @langlandsandbell latest exhibition @ccakitakyushu in Japan (until 22 January) presents the signatures of various figures from the art world as objects of beauty in their right (aptly in Japan where they so appreciate calligraphy). Mine is included incidentally alphabetically next to my predecessor as Director of @pallanthousegallery Stefan van Raay. The exhibition text states: “While re-organising their studio archive and sorting through files of correspondence relating to their life as artists, Ben Langlands and Nikki Bell noticed the signatures of the curators they had corresponded with since they began working together in 1978 and were struck by their individual character and beauty. The signatures range from those of young curators at the beginning of their careers to established and internationally prominent figures. In this exhibition at CCA Kitakyushu the artists display them as objects for contemplation so that we may appreciate their aesthetic qualities. The signatures vary widely, from extravagant and expressive flourishes, to deliberately abstract and minimal gestures. In each case one gains the impression of an individual distilled to their essence. The signature is a deeply personal expression rooted at the threshold of individual internal and external worlds where intellect, emotions and personal ambitions are made available as a public presentation and put on display. In recent times the role of the curator has become increasingly prominent as the discipline has professionalised, in response to wider public access and engage- ment in proliferating cultural conversations and debates, around identity and interpretation. Just as the functions and role of the curator have developed and evolved over time, so have methods of communication, letters, postcards, faxes, emails, social media, texts, etc. The signa- tures are a historical record as well as evidence of the continuing social, cultural, and technologi- cal changes we are participating in by making and exhibiting art. We currently have their Ministry on show @pallanthousegallery - looking forward to opening again!
