The article focuses on the development of curatorship in the last decades. Acting primarily as exhibition planners, curators started dedicating themselves also to the proposal of alternative historical narratives. Accordingly, the process of installing an exhibition has incorporated some critical elements, albeit the curatorial task takes place inside the institutional space of museums and in tandem to the art market. Our purpose here is to understand this process considering it not only in relation to the capture of criticism operated by institutions, but also as an inevitable movement inside a globalized art world which is significantly affected by multiple historical perspectives.
