Summary:
In recent years there has been increased debate on the incorporation of pedagogy into curatorial practice — on what has been termed "the educational turn" ("turn" in the sense of a paradigmatic reorientation, within the arts). In this new volume, artists, curators, critics and academics respond to this widely recognized turn in contemporary art. Consisting primarily of newly commissioned texts, from interviews and position statements to performative text and dialogue, this book also includes a number of previously published writings that have proved primary in the debate so far. Contributors include David Aguirre, Dave Beech, Cornford & Cross, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Tom Holert and Emily Pethick.

Pur produit de l'Occident qui s'exporte aujourd'hui avec fracas, le musée est en réalité une institution coupée de la vie, qui s'est constituée en mythologie, voire en uchronie (monde privé d'histoire). S'il témoigne de notre besoin d'une référence identitaire stable, il n'en est pas moins en porte-à-faux avec les réalités sociales contemporaines. Doit-il fermer ses(...)

Summary:
Pur produit de l'Occident qui s'exporte aujourd'hui avec fracas, le musée est en réalité une institution coupée de la vie, qui s'est constituée en mythologie, voire en uchronie (monde privé d'histoire). S'il témoigne de notre besoin d'une référence identitaire stable, il n'en est pas moins en porte-à-faux avec les réalités sociales contemporaines. Doit-il fermer ses portes ou peut-il se rénover ? Dans le sillage des différentes utopies proposées à la fin du XXe siècle, les récents musées de société tentent d'échapper à toute forme de dogmatisme en pratiquant l'ouverture et la mise en question délibérée.

Keller Easterling’s volume in the Critical Spatial Practice series analyzes the urgency of building subtraction. Often treated as failure or loss, subtraction—when accepted as part of an exchange—can be growth. All over the world, sprawl and overdevelopment have attracted distended or failed markets and exhausted special landscapes. However, in failure, buildings can create their own alternative markets of durable spatial variables that can be managed and traded by citizens and cities rather than the global financial industry.

In this publication each letter of the alphabet evokes a particular word related to the world of exhibition making: From A (as in Artist) and B (as in Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W (as in White Cube). Employing a diarist style, the curator presents his personal curatorial alphabet with a similar transparency and the same idiosyncratic character revealed in many of his exhibitions.
