Władza sądzenia – władza spojrzenia. Rola kuratora i krytyka a ocena fotografii

Abstract

The article is focused on the model of photography competitions and it’s influence on the traditional distinction between the role of an art critic and curator. Analyzing contemporary photography in the field of arts I recall quotation from Mieczysław Porębski claiming that the ultimate function of an art critic is “to make art visible” to the wider audience. I make an attempt to apply this specific function into a certain model of art distribution known as photography competitions where jury board use tools taken from art critique and criticality.
