The curator has traditionally been defined as a custodian, a person having control and taking care of a collection, and often, a researcher and scientist. In the 70s, a new form of curatorial activities was developed - a figure of an independent curator who is responsible for the form and content of artistic events. This article analyses the profiles of an independent curator and her/his relations with artists. The dissertation also tries to define the curator as an interpreter and a person who has the authority and the power of legitimization.
