Terminal Souvenirs: WHAT IS WRONG WITH CURATORIAL PRACTISE TODAY
by Maia Damianovic
(Pubisher: NIFCA (The Nordic Institute Contemporary art), no.1 1998, pp. 189-197)

Let me begin by saying that 1 would like to enter into a dialogue with you about certain issues, that in my opinion, afflict current exhibition and curatorial practice. My comments will be directed to events and exhibitions that 1 have visited over the course of the last several months. 1 would also like to say that my statement is a speculative and personal commentary. 1 do not want to insist categorizing the following ideas – 1 would, ideally, want to leave them as open as possible – especially to my own changes of opinion. In addition, when developing these ideas 1 was interested in the notion of a certain naiveté, that is, 1 wanted to leave my positions vulnerable, basic and quite general.
