This book covers the history of intervention theory, initial research including interviews with thirty professional artists, curators, and administrators, working in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States with narratives that reflected both the prevalence of, and the inherent opacity within, curatorial intervention.
Curatorial Intervention: History and Current Practice, is a critical analysis of the dynamic roles curators play in shaping, mediating and, at times, redefining the artist-audience exchange.

Focusing on contemporary curatorial practice, this work critically examines the ways in which curators impact artists’ intentionality, and how this alters audiences’ experiences of reception. Through discussions with leading artists, curators, and arts administrators, Brett Levine posits a new paradigm for defining and contextualizing curatorial practice, while exploring how the former dialectic of intention and reception is today defined by the triad intention-intervention-reception. After situating the more traditional artist-audience relationship, he explores how extant theories of the art experience fail to either provide for curatorial practice or contextualize its operations while also overlooking questions of transparency, agency, and power.

Offering a new professional and operational model, Curatorial Intervention highlights how the artist-curator and curator-audience relations displace and, at times redefine, the experience of works of art. In response to the disenfranchisement of curatorial practice, and the emergence of every act of discernment being transformed into curating—as little more than a fashionable pastime—the author reasserts the dynamic roles that exist between artist, curator, and audience, and between object, operation, and experience.

Brett M. Levine is a curator, writer, and editor who explores the intersections between intentionality, interventionality, and reception. Formerly the director of Lopdell House Gallery, Auckland, and team leader, collection programs at the Dowse Art Museum, Wellington, Levine’s curatorial projects explore questions of representation, identity, and perception with an emphasis on installation, time-based media, and experimental practices. His writings have appeared in Art New Zealand, Object, Urbis, and Art Papers, as well as in monographs on Brad Buckley, and Ross T. Smith. Levine lives and works in Birmingham, Alabama
