The New Curator

Beschrijving

Publicatie belicht aan de hand van interviews met curatoren de vele facetten van het hedendaagse curatorschap en curatorische praktijk. Belicht tevens het project Picasso in Palestine van de curatoren Charles Esche en Khaled Hourani. - This book presents a snapshot of the most interesting curatorial practices in the art world today. There is an emphasis on the "now": the introduction sketches in the development of curatorial practices since the 1980s but the shows under scrutiny in the following 25 case studies have all taken place in the last few years. The selected exhibitions - chosen by an expert panel of curators - run the global gamut, from Europe and the US through Africa and the Middle East to China, and illustrate the particular challenges for curators working in both the commercial and public sectors
