Managing Vision - towards a Curating Paradigm in Philosophy
Professor Daniel Birnbaum is a writer, philosopher and curator. He is the director of the Städelschule Art Academy and its Portikus Gallery, both in Frankfurt am Main. He is the founder (with Isabelle Graw) of the Insitut für Kunstkritik, and a member of the board of Frankfurt’s Institut für Sozialforschung. He has published numerous books on art and philosophy. Together with Christine Macel he organized ‘Airs de Paris’ at the Centre Pompidou that celebrated the institution’s 30th anniversary in 2007. He was a co-curator of the 50th Venice Biennale in 2003 and Director of the 53rd Venice Biennale in 2009. All his undertakings have a managerial dimension be it as the fundraising head of an Art School or the director of big temporal projects as Biennales. But to what extent can the curating enterprise be a more general model of action?
