curator

Japanese: キュレーター

A curator is someone who is responsible for the overall planning and operation of exhibits at art galleries and museums. They are responsible for everything from selecting artists to negotiating the loan of works, organizing the exhibition space, creating catalogs, advertising, installation, and return. In Japanese, the term is translated as "curator," but the scope and authority of a curator's work is far broader and more powerful than that. It is not uncommon to find star curators overseas who have become stars.

Japanese:

美術館や博物館などで、展示する作品の企画から運用まで全般を請け負う仕事。アーティストの選定から作品の借り出し交渉、展示場の構成、カタログ制作、宣伝、搬入、返却まで一切の責任を担う。日本語に訳せば学芸員なのだが、本来のキュレーターの仕事の範囲と権限はそれに比べてケタ違いに広く、かつ強力。海外にはスター化した花形キュレーターも珍しくない。
