The recent rise of the cult of the curator, within both art and architecture worlds, has not been mirrored in the cachet of the editor, that most invisible of ‘silent authors’. Cynthia Davidson is editor of the journal Log – the current issue is entitled ‘Curating Architecture,’ will talk to Shumon Basar about affinities between
editing print and curating exhibitions, and the differences between reading and viewing in visual culture today.
