What is known about how curators experience and understand curating a contemporary art exhibition is limited. Over the past few decades, the curator's role has been redefined beyond the confines of collections and staging exhibitions to include managing core programs, such as education. Weil (2003) states this redefinition has been a source of the collapse of the traditional hierarchy in museums, new staff roles, and a focus on visitors rather than art objects. The role of curators has been changing as museums have sought to diversify their staffs to provide a greater variety of educational programming and outreach. Procurement and archiving of works of art, research, and scholarly writing are the most significant activities performed by curators. Curators bring knowledge and experience that often originates beyond the institution's four walls and must also accept the new responsibilities of addressing diverse audiences, be it a scholarly audience of their peers or a public without specialized knowledge of the field. The shift forced curators to acquire new skills and ways of working with other museum staff in the education, marketing, and visitor services departments (Bryk, 2001). As a result, many curators did not focus on connoisseurship, but on educational theory and visitor engagement (Wittman, 2012). The purpose of this phenomenographic study is to provide a deeper awareness of the ways curators experience and understand the act of curating a contemporary art exhibition and explore their experiences and challenges balancing artistic vision and newly assigned responsibilities.
