I was asked to address different models of curatorial practice. One of the things I am interested in is "how the lines blur" between models of practice as a curator, (whether we can call it 'traditional' or otherwise), organizer, historian, artist, or critic.  I'm interested in gathering voices as a model to talk about what we all do.  How we gather and represent voices has implications on how or if those voices are heard.  Clearly, how we frame those voices is important. This framing includes the curatorial model, the context, i.e., institutions of all kinds, our assumptions, and the language we use. We are all in some position of authority. How and if we acknowledge our positions becomes crucial.
