Description
When Artists Curate Contemporary Art and the Exhibition as Medium by Alison Green The exhibition has long been seen as a separate entity from the art it displays. However, in recent years, artists have increasingly taken on a more prominent role in curating exhibitions. This shift challenges our understanding of the relationship between art, institutions, and the public. By examining the work of artist-curators such as Daniel Buren, Goshka Macuga, Thomas Hirschhorn, Rosemarie Trockel, Hito Steyerl, Andy Warhol, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, this book reveals a new narrative about the role of exhibitions in the art world. Beautifully illustrated and featuring in-depth explorations of these artists' work, it offers a fresh perspective on how we experience and understand exhibitions. Through its exploration of artist-curators, this book shows that showing is an integral part of making art, and that the exhibition itself can be seen as a medium with its own creative possibilities.
