The Twists and Turns of Postcurating

Postcurating is referred to as a new mode of being associated with the declining role of art institutions, or a shift in curatorial thought. Can we define postcurating as a hybrid practice in which the exhibition itself becomes the object of research and medium of artistic practice? In which ways does postcurating relate to rematerialization of an artwork? What is a post-exposition, and in which ways is a performative narrative created in an exhibition?
