THE ARTIST AS CURATOR IN POST-INTERNET ART.

The aim of this essay is an examination of the idea of the artist as curator in the contemporary phenomenon called post-internet art. First of all I will focus on the conditions in which postinternet art reverses the concept of creativity with that of selection, as it also alters the role of the gallery, which becomes 'a point of departure, not a destination' (D. Quaranta). Secondly, I will turn to a conceptual analysis and a comparative analysis of the objects of post-internet art and Duchamp's ready mades. The idea of the artist as curator is relevant in the context of contemporary art because it causes a chasm between the traditional approaches of the artist and of the objects that fall into the category of the term art.
