Artist Curator

So I am finding my work is becoming more and more like curating, only a curator who gets their hands dirty and crosses the border into the area of lived experience and a curator who curates them self to make their own work. So maybe, if in the 60's the conceptualist generation started to theorize and discursively contextualize their own work and began to write as a part of their work, perhaps in reaction to the excesses of Greenberg and Rosenberg in dictating the meaning of work, perhaps a generation of artists are gradually incorporating curating into their work, to wrest control from the overly powerful and determining role of the curator in the last 20 years. I need to read a paper that accounts for this rise of the curatorial though.
