What does being a curator exactly mean? What is the most difficult thing about being one? 

Ethimologically it mean “the one who takes care” of artworks. Simple as it is, as a definition it works very well: to take care of an artwork, to pick it, to display it in the best way and to relate it to others in order to create a dialogue, are the most simple aspects of this job and yet the most important ones.

When did you understand you wanted to be a curator?

Actually the word curator wasn’t used a lot when I starter to get into contemporary art – at around 14 years old. Then people talked about art critics, not curators.
