Abstract

In globalisation era, performing art event is necessarily conducted for multiple purposes, either for entertainment or business oriented events. In order to determine the success of this event, the role of curator is very important, although the study of curatorial in art performing still get less attention. Therefore, this paper explains: (1) how curator works in assessing the performing art for an event; (2) what criteria the curator used in assessing performing art. This qualitative research design with a case study was conducted. Data were collected through two instruments, namely interview and documentation analysis. Two curators were involved as the subjects of the study. The findings reveal that the curators so far worked conventionally without thinking some curation models, such as self-reflexive, sampling, traditional, decentralisation curation, virtual curation, artist-curation, and collaborative curatorial platform. In addition, they also claim that some criteria for performing art assessment were not utilized yet in doing their jobs since they only assessed and selected any art works as they wanted to without thinking whether their assessment results met the spectators’ expectation and suitability with the event theme.
