Beschreibung	The goal of this Master’s project is to investigate the relationship between context and content through methods of the curatorial, focusing on the discipline of music. My research thematizes the double effect that exists between these two elements, which in turn raises questions of how to understand the role of the audience, the definition of the author, and the relationship between artistic and non-artistic production by various both human and non-human subjects. As contemporary music moves slowly toward composing with extra-musical factors such as video clips or choreographed gestures, my research seeks to reflect on and participate in this development not from the perspective of the composer, but rather from the less artistic and more philosophical position of the curator, a figure that has in the past several years accompanied similar artistic shifts in other art forms towards theatricality, individualization, and self-reflexivity. This project, which can be called music curating, investigates these issues through both theoretical texts and musical-curatorial projects. In every instance, my work also thematizes the question of a working methodology situated between various actors often possessing very diverse skills and backgrounds, a topic that deals directly with interdiscursive relations.
