Description
Trade ReviewThe anthology features contributions from tutors, guest speakers and students, all of whom delve into what “the curatorial” is and what it might mean in the future ... The multiplicity of perspectives included in this book ... [are] a useful addition. * Museus e Estudos Interdisciplinaires *
Arguing that
curating like
mapping is an outmoded concept, the specially commissioned essays in
The Curatorial propose
curatorial as a disruptive activity that provokes us to rethink received knowledge about art, art history, philosophy and cultural heritage. With its rich collection of texts by leading writers and theorists,
The Curatorial is essential reading for anyone active in the arts as a curator, practitioner or writer. * Dr. Sue Malvern, Senior Lecturer, Faculty of Art, University of Reading, UK *
