Description
On Curating: Interviews with Ten International Curators by Carolee Thea explores the intellectual convictions and personal visions that shape the most prestigious exhibitions in the world today. Through in-depth interviews, Thea examines the relationship between artist and curator, globalism, post-colonialism, capitalism, cultural tourism, and the biennial as spectacle or utopian ideal. The book features 50 color illustrations of relevant works by prominent artists, including Kutlug Ataman, Tamy Ben-Tor, John Bock, Cao Fei, Olafur Eliasson, Isaac Julien, Francois & Philippe Parreno, Yvonne Rainer, Michael Rakowitz, Doris Salcedo, Allan Sekula, and Francesca Woodman. Carolee Thea is a curator, critic, art historian, and independent scholar, with a background in publishing and editing for leading arts journals. This collection of interviews offers a unique insight into the world of contemporary curating, providing a platform for ten leading international curators to share their experiences, perspectives, and visions.
