Discussion Panel with Dr Martin Waldmeier, Dr Katie Hill and Dr Pandora Syperek,  Sotheby's Institute of Art, 30 Bedford Square
Curating is a burgeoning field. A small number of in-demand curators have become international celebrities, graduate-level courses for aspirant curators have multiplied and a rich new literature has developed on the subject. The globalisation of the art world has brought the rise of new exhibition formats. The biennial in particular has become a—arguably the—crucial arena for new experiments in curating, while also foregrounding the role of the curator as a translator, as someone tasked with the readability of works across different contexts. Our panel will look at this and other recent tendencies in rapidly developing professional discipline.
Speakers bio Dr Katie Hill, Programme Director, MA Modern and Contemporary Asian Art, Sotheby’s Institute of Art. PhD, University of Sussex; MPhil/PhD, School of Oriental and African Studies, University of London; MA (Hons), The University of Edinburgh Katie Hill is a regularly invited speaker for exhibitions and events in numerous institutions and galleries.

She also co-edited a special issue of the journal Visual Art Practice on Contemporary Chinese Art and Criticality, published in 2012.
