Roger M. Buergel, Exhibition Organiser and Author, Lecturer in Visual Art Theory at Lüneburg University, Germany and Artistic Director, ‘documenta XII’ (2007), discussed curatorial methods and aesthetic experience with Jörg Heiser, co-Editor of frieze. What are the tensions between curator and artist, aesthetics and politics and between thematic display and the single work? Can the renegotiation of these relationships really be made productive?
