Publisher Synopsis
'Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance addresses the growing body of work addressing curatorship as an activity that sits at the interstices of knowledge production and art practice. [...] One of the distinctive aspects of the volume is the emphasis upon detailed case studies of curatorial projects that emphasize the complexity of the terrain within which curators are operating. It will make a valuable contribution to debate in this area.' -- Joanna Lowry * The University of Brighton * '[This] will prove to be a key reference and a significant contribution in encouraging debate in the way we examine spatial concerns within the field of contemporary art practice for both Fine Art students' final year shows and established practitioners.' -- Richard Davies * Director of Studies in Fine Art, University College for The Creative Arts, Canterbury * 'One conclusion to be taken from the collection of essays gathered [here] is that, by subverting conventions of thinking about curating, and through introducing different rhythms of art practices, one continually questions both the nature of contemporary art and performance and the curating of their artifacts. ' -- John F. Barber * Leonardo Reviews * 'These essays on curation came from a series of symposia hosted during 2004 and 2005 by the University College of the Creative Arts in Canterbury. The contributors are artists, academics, writers, theorists and curators who examine various perspectives on curating contemporary art and performance and the relationships between them. ' * Arts Research Digest * They [the contributors] are an extremely interesting group of people - several of them artists with long trajectories and significant involvements in crucial historical art projects and exhibitions ... All the essays are considered, reflective and specific; particularly, the material on curatorial instances is extremely useful.' -- Claire MacDonald * Contemporary Theatre Review * Read more...
