Summary:
Research is of paramount importance as a fundamental basis for everything that museums do. This publication engages with the diverse viewpoints of authors in the vanguard of theoretical discussions and curatorial practices, mapping out the multiplicity of endeavours to reform and transform research in relation to the art museum.

Summary:
What if museum critics were challenged to envision their own exhibitions? In this publication, fourteen authors from disciplines throughout the social sciences and humanities propose exhibitions inspired by their research and critical concerns to creatively put theory into practice. Pushing the boundaries of museology, this collection gives rare insight into the process of conceptualizing exhibitions. The contributors offer concrete, innovative projects, each designed for a specific setting in which to translate critical academic theory about society, culture, and history into accessible imagined exhibitions. Spanning Australia, Barbados, Canada, Chile, the Netherlands, Poland, South Africa, Switzerland, and the United States, the exhibitions are staged in museums, scientific institutions, art galleries, and everyday sites. Essays explore political and practical constraints, imaginative freedom, and experiment with critical, participatory, and socially relevant exhibition design.

Summary:
On Curating 2, Carolee Thea's new volume of interviews with 14 of today’s leading curators, explores the lively system of art biennials that is thriving around the world—particularly outside Europe and America. Spawned by their more formal Western predecessors and motivated by the forces of history and politics, the newer incarnations of the biennial often occur in the cities of the postcolonial world and the Global South, as well as in former socialist countries. The new generation of curators who are organizing provocative and experimental exhibitions hail from cities as diverse as Bogotá, Dakar, Havana, Jakarta, Jerusalem, Lagos, Mumbai, Seoul and Zagreb, and they are the subjects of the interviews collected in this book. Thea’s interviewees are Nancy Adajania, Wassan Al-Khudhairi, David Elliott, Mami Kataoka, Sunjung Kim, Koyo Kouoh, Gerardo Mosquera, Ugochukwu-Smooth Nzewi, Jack Persekian, José Roca, Bisi Silva, Carol Yinghua Lu, Alia Swastika and WHW.

'The Curatorial Conundrum' looks at the burgeoning field of curatorship and tries to imagine its future. Indeed, practitioners and theorists consider a variety of futures: the future of curatorial education; the future of curatorial research; the future of curatorial and artistic practice; and the institutions that will make these other futures possible. Contributors examine the proliferation of graduate programs in curatorial studies over the last twenty years, and consider what can be taught without giving up what is precisely curatorial, within the ever-expanding parameters of curatorial practice in recent times.

Summary:
Ever since the nineteen-nineties, curatorial discourse has revolved around the figure of the professional curator. Consequently, curatorial politics is usually considered the direct result of a curator's deliberate acts and intentions. Now, however, new institutional models and modes of exhibition practice together with key shifts in funding and collecting strategies have revealed aspects of curatorial politics over which the exhibition-maker has little or no control. The present volume presents a series of essays by noted art theorists and cultural scientists that go beyond the perspective of the individual curator to reveal these previously unexplored levels of curatorial politics.

Summary:
L’exposition se déploie sous de multiples formes dans les musées, mais aussi dans les centres d’art, les lieux culturels, dans l’espace public ou encore dans les entreprises et les collectivités. Serge Chaumier explore ce foisonnement et tente de le sérier ; l’auteur avance les raisons qui conduisent les expositions à être moins centrées sur les objets et les collections et davantage tournées vers les discours et les narrations. « Fascinante polysémie qui témoigne à la fois de la richesse du médium et de la difficulté d’en circonscrire les langages, les registres, les canevas et les styles ». Parce que les musées et les expositions sont désormais moins souvent des lieux d’apprentissage que de mise en éveil des curiosités, l’écriture de l’exposition doit se réinventer ; cet ouvrage s’emploie à en dessiner les nouveaux contours, à fouiller le langage des concepteurs et fait surgir les nouvelles configurations du rapport avec les visiteurs.

Summary:
How many times have you heard the term “curate” in the past few years? But what exactly does it mean? Curating has been a key concept both in and outside the art world in the past few years, with the remit of what a curator does having changed and expanded with each new exhibition or biennale. With an emphasis on the "now" and the most recent exhibitions, this book examines the variety and richness of curating practices today, from public commissions such as Art Angel to experimental projects such as the Ghetto Biennale in Haiti, or the Rhizome digital archive.
