A few years back, Curatememe set out on a mission to create a space “Where Curators Curate Memes about Curation. Where will the absurdity of our use of the term Curation go next? This Tumblr speculates wildly.” I think it’s now time to declare curation accomplished. Now that curation means whatever, I thought I would curate the best of the best from the tumblr here in a listicle. It seemed appropriate. It will also make it easier for me to find one’s I want to use sometimes.
The memes are arranged more or less reverse chronologically, which offers a sense of how they developed as a body of work over time and preserves the experience of reading back into a tumblr.
Stop Worrying and Respect des Fonds
Be the Change you want to Curate in the World
The Only Thing we have to Curate
There are no facts, only curations
I Can’t Believe I Curated the Whole Thing
The Things You Curate End Up Curating You
He Who Curates the Spice Curates the Universe
Curate Yourselves Winter is Coming
I Curated this Xhibit
I Curated You I can Deaccession You
Frankly my dear, I don’t curate a DAMS
I love it when curation means whatever
