How to Share a Board
With Curator you can easily share your Boards with colleagues or clients. Invite someone to a Curator Board via their email address, or simply select someone you have already shared with.
This will enable you to invite someone to see your board and if you choose to, they can also collaborate with you.
It’s really simple to build a moodboard to explain an idea and show it to anyone.
Tap the ‘Share’ button under the board and select Share – Board.
If your personal profile is incomplete you will be prompted to add your name, so that the person you are sharing with knows who you are.
By default, Collaboration is enabled, this means the other person can add content to and edit (but not delete) your Board. If you don’t want people to be able to edit your work: tap the switch to disable Collaboration.
Enter the email address of the person you want to share the Board with, or tap on the name of someone you have previously shared with. Finally, tap the green Share button at the bottom of the screen.
Curator will send an invitation to the user. If there is already a user registered with the email they will soon after see the Shared Board folder appear in his/her own Board view. If the person is not yet a Curator user they will receive an email prompting them to sign up with that email to receive your board.
Tap the X in the top right corner to close the screen and return to the Board view.

Things that inspire us: The work of Sophie Calle
We have always been struck by the installation and presentation of Sophie Calle’s work. Beyond the artwork itself, the structure she deploys to tell a story is extremely enjoyable. It reveals the care for her audience’s personal engagement. Here is a very short introduction to a few of her pieces that inspire us the most:
Gotham Handbook – documents social interactions around a specific place in NYC.
Suite Vénitienne – is the documentation of the artist following total strangers in the street. Calle is documenting and annotating her pictures with their actions and behaviours
Sleepers – is a collection of pictures of people sleeping. Sophie Calle took one photograph per hour for 8 days of an invited guest, sleeping in her bed. Twenty-eight people succeeded one another for eight-hour documented sleep-shifts.
Why we like it:
• The sequence in Suite Vénitienne depicts her investigation into unsuspecting individuals. It works exactly like a storyboard.
• She mixes photography, text and written notes within the frame. She uses her experience, as an author would, to deploy a narrative.
• She works across media and combines text, images and annotations.
