Description

A Brief History of Curating (Documents, 3) by Hans Ulrich Obrist This publication is part of JRP|Ringer's innovative Documents series and features a unique collection of interviews with pioneering curators. It maps the development of the curatorial field over the last 50 years, from early independent curators in the 1960s and 70s to the inception of Documenta and various biennales and fairs. The book brings together the experiences and insights of legendary curators such as Anne D'Harnoncourt, Werner Hoffman, Jean Leering, Franz Meyer, Seth Siegelaub, Walter Zanini, Johannes Cladders, Lucy Lippard, Walter Hopps, Pontus Hulten, and Harald Szeemann. Their stories provide a fascinating glimpse into the evolution of curatorial practice and its relationship to art. Through these interviews, Obrist sheds light on the key moments and figures that have shaped the curatorial field, offering a nuanced understanding of its development and significance.
