Saatchi Online's 100 Curators, 100 Days is a fascinating, ambitious curation project
In a world increasingly dominated by search engine algorithms and crowdmind suggestions, we’re all for a bit of old-fashioned curation. A new project from Saatchi Online, 100 Curators 100 Days, does exactly what it says on the tin, with a really interesting selection of curatorial talent picking 10 artists that excite and inspire them from the Saatchi Online collection. From New York to New Delhi, large institutions to cutting-edge biennales it’s an intriguing mix of cultural figures and a great platform on which to bring unrepresented artists to wider public attention. It’s only five days in and already there’s a host of great work to enjoy, so welcome to your new resource (for the next 95 days…)
