Producer and curator are different identities in the context of art exhibition. However the production on site represented by the former is inevitable to interact and overlap with the content conception represented by the later.
Richard Castelli, an exhibition professional who identifies himself as both producer and curator, will elaborate the subjet of this dual identity, supported by concrete examples from his exhibition practices. XIANG Liping, head of exhibition at PSA, OrangeZ, head of exhibition at CAC, will join the disscusion with their own perspectives from their own experiences.
