Description
What makes an exhibition great? This question is at the heart of curatorial practice, yet often remains unstated. In this collection of 14 essays by active curators and historians, perspectives on realizing high ideals in the face of budget constraints and conflicting imperatives are shared. The book explores how exhibitions can be used to address the central nexus of art and audience, providing practical examples of thinking by doing. Contributors discuss topics such as the role of didactic labels, group exhibitions, exhibiting design, and the impact of architecture on the exhibition experience. They also examine the need for a meaningful critical context in international biennales and the importance of culturally specific exhibitions. This book offers a range of perspectives on curating contemporary art, mainly from American and European institutions. By exploring these issues, What Makes a Great Exhibition? provides insight into the complexities of creating successful exhibitions and the ways in which they can engage audiences.
