How to Curate Your Own Group Exhibition

(Do It)

Commissioned for Hans-Ulrich Obrist's "Museum-in-Progress" series Do It, Smith's How to Curate Your Own Group Exhibition is a deadpan infomercial explaining exactly what the beginning curator needs to know. Television professionals shot and edited the piece, yielding a flashy "spot" in which Smith plays a corporate talking head, concerned with a 21st-century "transferral of curatorial responsibilities into the hands of the artists, as well as an artist who simply wants to get into more group shows.

With German subtitles.
