In this paper we show a possible trajectory for the artist-curator construction, a lively
figure in the field of contemporary arts and with a great action within the paraense art
scene. Therefore, we build a trajectory from the first proposal about what we consider
as curatorship, since the curiosities collectors until the first museum appearance.
After some primary source interviews, associated to literary research we produced
living documents from The Paraense Art History, in which we outlined historical facts
from the regional scene identifying the process of exhibitions constructing; and some
characters who have excelled in the art scene in the context of the nineteenth
century to the present day. In the contemporary scene we highlight the actions
undertaken by national and regional curators, who revealed to the artist-curator as
one of the possible classifications for the contemporary art field of Belém do Pará,
where the artist’s job and the curator’s job both intensify and self complement in
thinking and making of the target-character: the artist who creates and care.
