In contrast to shows featuring individual artists, exhibition curators apply their expertise and originality in some field of art research, along with a keen nose for developments, to scent out socio-cultural phenomena or artistic trends and present them in the clear format of an exhibition theme.
有別於藝術家的個展，策展人以他們專長的美術研究主題或前瞻性的論文，經常以其敏銳的嗅覺，將隱約存在的文化社會現象或美術潮流，明白清楚地藉由展覽主題表現出來。
