Chiara Giardi inquires about curatorial strategies in research-based artistic practices by focusing on the six expositions (i.e. contributions) published in the 26th issue of the Journal for Artistic Research. She is interested in how the authors packed their practice into the expositions: What curatorial strategies were involved in this process? Furthermore, she applies the concept of «Circulating Reference» (Latour 1999) to understand how the expositions claim knowledge. She suggests that curating, if understood in an extended way, has many traits in common with the practice of exposing in the Research Catalogue. The choice of a curatorial perspective is strategic to further understand curatorial practice beyond the professional role of the curator.
