Each precedent is an image. It is an image produced by judicial mechanisms of power, and it has a clear aesthetic value. Can any image produced by prosecutors, investigators or judges be called a precedent? No. What constitutes a precedent is only the aesthetically valuable product of their work that they create in the process of judicially oppressing an artist and their art. To make a precedent happen, however, the artist should turn this oppression against power itself. For that is when the artist effects a turn-around so much needed by art. They turn upside down the perennial disposition between art and power, making power work for art.

Where curating is collects essays and interviews covering a range of issues--collective and individual--that concern curating in a Ukrainian context. These texts emerged from discussions between the author-compilers of the book and curators and contemporary artists from cities across Ukraine. They aim to show the peculiarities of curating from the perspective of the artist-as-curator, without ignoring the counterpart to this figure: the curator-as-artist. Each of these two perspectives forms the basis for one of the book's three parts. The third part of the book is an attempt to describe and explain the relationships between the main institutions, art unions, exhibition projects, and names which are mentioned in the texts but about which there has previously been an absence of accurate and accessible information. Many of the visual materials that appear in the book are being published for the first time"--Title page verso.
