After a brief overview, He will situate the book within some key debates around the presentation and study of art in Southeast Asia today. What makes contemporary art &#39;contemporary&#39;? How should we tell its story? As its production and circulation are more and more transnational, can that story be a national story? Of the many agents who shape, interpret and promote contemporary art &#8211; who give it its &#39;currency&#39; &#8211; the curator has been the pivotal mediator between national and international circuits. The second part of the lecture will be focused on the curatorial function and how it has evolved in specific contexts. Is the curatorial role in Thailand the same as it is elsewhere? What value does the curator bring to artistic work? And what dangers? As artists or viewers in Thailand today, what do we actually want from curators?&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>About lecturer<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>\n\t\t<strong>David Teh<\/strong> is a curator and researcher based at the National University of Singapore, specializing in Southeast Asian contemporary art.
