Art fairs used to be environments thought anathema to curators. Now, a “curatorial” sensibility is present at art fairs across the world.

In an October 25 panel discussion at Art Toronto, Canadian Art associate editor David Balzer, author of Curationism: How Curating Took Over the Art World and Everything Else, spoke with a group of experts about the benefits and challenges of working in a millennial art market—where curating is now often synonymous with value.

Panellists include artist Thrush Holmes, curator and collector Stefan Hancherow, and writer and Artsy specialist Elena Soboleva.
