extra style in the word “curate”
Tim Gough - NYTimes
New York Times reporter Alex Williams caught wind of how I used the idea of ‘curating’ to add a sense of community to venue promotion, people for recordings, and my overall ideals for production in general. Clearly, as his article examines, the term “curate” is no longer reserved for museums, or at least not here in New York City:
“They’re young, discerning and enterprising, and they’ve got a code word to tout it.”
“They don’t simply put on an event, they have an eye for it.”
Curtis Macdonald, a Brooklyn musician, also says that “curate” precisely describes his job: hiring bands for a local site.
“When given to opportunity to curate an evening of music, choosing the right bands is very similar to curating a museum,” Mr. Macdonald explained in an e-mail message. “Since I, the ‘curator,’ choose personnel based on a particular aesthetic, I am able to think of creative ways of presenting music beyond the traditional ‘call-up a venue and ask for a gig’ way of presenting.”
