Curating Art
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-90796-6 (ISBN)
Representing the plurality of theory and practice around the expanded field of relational curating, the book focuses on curating that prioritises the quality of relationships between people and objects, between institutions and people and among people. It has wide international breadth, with particularly strong representation in East and Southeast Asia, including four papers never before translated into English. This Asian cluster illuminates the globalisation of the field and challenges dichotomies of East and West while acknowledging distinctions within specific, but often transnational, cultural spheres.
The compelling philosophical perspectives and case studies included within Curating Art will be of interest to students and researchers studying curating, exhibition development and art museums. The book will also inspire current and emerging curators to pose challenging but important questions about their own practice and the relationships that this work sustains.
Janet Marstine is Honorary Associate Professor of Museum Studies (retired), University of Leicester, and is now based in Maine in the US. She writes on diverse aspects of museum ethics from curatorial ethics to artists’ interventions as drivers for ethical change and has a particular interest in recognising and supporting the agency of practitioners to make informed ethical decisions. Oscar Ho Hing Kay is Associate Professor of Practice and Director of the Master's Programme in Cultural Management at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. Formerly he was the exhibitions director of the Hong Kong Arts Centre and the founding director of the Museum of Contemporary Art, Shanghai.
