... people who we might have come across functioning as critics in the past have tended to avoid exclusively critical positions and have become involved in curating in order to create a whole new matrix of meta-critical gestures (78) ...
So maybe the question is, "Where is the critical flow? Where are the roots of the context in relation to the discussion around art? Maybe the critical flow now resides within the curatorial text, that is, it resides within the text by the curator. It also resides in the notation, and the signage, and the editing - the whole matrix of curatorial signification. Maybe, it comes out in smaller asides - little gestures, little notes, little addenda, little footnotes. Maybe it comes out in texts where it's essential and necessary now to read between the lines to find moments of autonomous critique. And I think this is a phenomena that we are all familar with, that is, it is important to read between the lines of the multiple role that the curatorial text has to provide which is both informative and interface. It's also often aligned alongside the artist, so it has sightly softer quality than it would have in a critically autonomous environment. (80-81)
-Liam Gillick, "Claiming Contingent Space"

So where is the critical flow? I guess it meant away.
