This conversation situates the editors of Curious firmly in the present. Their revisiting of conversations from two decades earlier is not an act of nostalgia, but part of a process of re-assessing an entire discourse and its evolution. They underline that the process of re-editing for this volume demonstrated that curating has never been a homogeneous area of practice, despite the prevalent linear tracing of a specific range of exhibitionary forms. Instead, individual temporal and geographical circumstances resulted in very different trajectories, nurtured by a range of questions and concerns, and a diverse set of actors and agents, which these re-edits amplify.
