Description
Thinking about Exhibitions brings together a diverse range of perspectives on current exhibition practice from curators, critics, artists, sociologists, and historians. This multidisciplinary anthology explores the emergence of new discourses surrounding exhibitions and the urgent debates that shape the field today. The book is organised into sections that examine the history of exhibitions, the staging and spectacle of exhibitions, and the roles of curators, spectators, and narrative. The texts included in this collection investigate exhibitions in a variety of settings, from traditional galleries to non-traditional spaces, and explore innovative approaches to extending cultural debates within museums. The book is fully illustrated with over ninety black-and-white photographs, providing a visual complement to the written contributions. A useful resource for anyone interested in exhibitions, museum studies, or art, Thinking about Exhibitions offers a unique insight into the complexities and challenges of exhibition practice.
