Curator Must

Ilona Dergach 2018
9'06"

Most of female culture workers find themselves in a ‘sticky floor’ situation – doing low-paid jobs with unclear professional duties with no career prospects. In the Curator Must, shown in 2018 at an exhibition held at Antonina Slobodchikova and Mikhail Gulin’s studio, the topic of the curator’s invisible and unclear responsibilities is problematized, as well as, most often women’s labour. In this art piece the exhibition curator is shown washing the gallery floor and radiators, that is performing mainly women-related household chores. The curator turns out to be not a professional actor responsible for the development of concepts, building communication with an artist and forming an exhibition that is non-material activities, but is included in the art system from its very bottom and performs low-skilled and low-paid jobs instead.
