Description
The Curatorial: A Philosophy of Curating by Jean-Paul Martinon offers a fresh approach to understanding the activity of curating. It distinguishes between 'curating' and 'the curatorial', exploring what takes place on the stage set up, both intentionally and unintentionally, by the curator.
This book challenges conventional art historical narratives, instead presenting a multiplicity of perspectives that go from anecdotal to theoretical and personal to philosophical. By doing so, it invites readers to think again about curating as an activity that implicates us all, rather than just passive recipients.
With its uncompromising approach, The Curatorial encourages readers to question sweeping art historical generalizations and the sedimentation of ideas. It is a book that challenges the status quo, inviting readers to engage with complex and ethics-driven thought in a way that allows curating to begin to be challenged by some of the most pressing issues of our time.
