notes: triage as curatorial practice
by john ros
curating, much like triage, involves balancing priorities — deciding what is preserved, amplified and left behind. in volume iv: triage — open source [art curation], triage becomes the guiding framework for selecting, presenting and engaging with art. it’s a process of care — sensitive to the urgency of voices and the spaces they inhabit. this exhibition embraces curatorial triage as a tool for revealing and reframing the overlooked, the invisible and the in-between.
this approach relies on deep engagement with space, memory and participation. through personal reflection, audience involvement and thoughtful artist selection, volume iv: triage — open source [art curation] explores how moments — grand or subtle — can be curated to evoke emotional, intellectual and sensory responses. here, space is not just a container for art — it is an active participant.
