CURATORS' SERIES #5

5 Apr-9 Jun 2012

Draf (david Roberts Art Foundation)
London NW1 7JE

Overview

'Bouvard and Pécuchet's Compendious Quest for Beauty' will see curators Simone Menegoi and Chris Sharp applying the methodology of the perplexed copyists in the last and unfinished novel by Flaubert to the still nascent and increasingly polemical discipline of curating, as if they were Bouvard and Pécuchet themselves, in a thoroughly foredoomed and hubristic attempt to locate and define one of the most protean and subjective qualities of all: beauty.
