Beyond Caring: Para-Hosting as Curatorial Escape
<p>What can established art institutions learn from small-scale organizations’ approaches to invitation, hosting, and publicness? In <em>Beyond Caring: Para-hosting as Curatorial Escape</em>, Paul O’Neill explores how new forms of invitation can reimagine host–guest relations and open escape routes from fixed institutional roles. Moving between speculation, critique, and proposition, the essay introduces “para- hosting” as a cooperative methodology of generosity and self-organization without absorption. For O’Neill, para-hosting is a form of escape that enables transformative possibilities beyond existing power structures within institutions and otherwise.</p>
