'The task of curating is to make junctions, to allow different elements to touch.  You might describe it as the attempted pollination of culture, or a form of map-making that opens new routes through a city, a people or a world'

- Hans Ulrich Obrist

 

For Hoven, exhibitions are a demonstration of a process that nearly always starts with a conversation and an attempt in finding ways to sometimes make the impossible things possible.  Through collaboration, exhibitions can build bridges between many disciplines -  architects, researchers, artists, the communities, and even institutions.  The role of the curator is to mediate between all of the collaborators and to organize and collate a process of collection making.
