Not to worry. The best artists do not breed, original voices who are not
seen (if seen at all) as curate-able, until late in life, if they live
that long.
In the long run (if there is one), Google will disappear and art will
still be there. "All that glitters is not gold."

Hi Dave,
Perhaps add a link to the page of Marco's recent article on the very
same subject.

Corporate Curation
http://freemachines.info/events/corporatecuration
25th September, 6.00-7.30pm at the Forest Centre Plus, 38 Castle
Terrace, EH3 9JD, Edinburgh.
As the art world adjusts after the economic crisis and a series of
funding cuts to the state arts budget, assistance from big business
is increasingly sought to subsidise cultural production. At a time
when many 'emerging artists' are not receiving fair pay for their
labour, shouldn't we welcome more investment in the arts, whether the
source is public or private? And should we expect big business
sponsorship to alter the autonomy of the artist any more or less than
the state would?
Looking at Google's recent 'Dev Art' exhibition at the Barbican
Centre in London through the frame of a wider historical view on
systems of arts patronage, Corporate Curation will contextualise the
current neoliberal frameworks of cultural entrepeneurialism and the
role big business should play in the arts.
With talks by Jake Watts and Dave Young, followed by an open forum
for collective debate.
