Eungie Joo: When NYFA Quarterly editor Alan Gilbert approached me to do a piece on independent curating, I thought we should have this conversation together, because we’re all doing related work and our practices appear to be linked—we often write about and work with the same artists, we’re all about the same age, and each of us is publishing a bit. But we each have very different emphases and starting points, and I want to talk a little about how we all began in this field.

To do so, I have asked Jenelle Porter, Curator at Artists Space in New York City, to share her experiences and views on curating from a non-profit organization's perspective. The discussion that follows includes a wealth of information about non-profit curating and is intended to touch on many of the major issues raised by visual artists who have called/emailed the Hotline over the past several years. (Ask Dr. Art's third and final column on curating will be published in the fall 2001 issue, and it will address corporate art curating and collecting.)

Matthew Deleget: Let's begin by defining the process of curating.
