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:
Long a pioneer in architecture, Emilio Ambasz has retained a belief in the environment, or rather the larger ecology, as fundamental in viewing the world: as the author notes in the introduction, "his philosophy of ‘green over gray’ may often have fallen on deaf ears at the height of Postmodernism, but it today seems profoundly relevant." And it is in the context of today(...)

Summary:
Long a pioneer in architecture, Emilio Ambasz has retained a belief in the environment, or rather the larger ecology, as fundamental in viewing the world: as the author notes in the introduction, "his philosophy of ‘green over gray’ may often have fallen on deaf ears at the height of Postmodernism, but it today seems profoundly relevant." And it is in the context of today that the book considers his work and its three main areas of concentration—architecture, industrial design, curating—with an aim of shining a light on the interdisciplinary nature of the work as a whole. Featuring built and manufactured designs that have achieved iconic fame and challenged others to approach new ways of reconciling architecture and nature, the book also considers Ambasz’s work as curator at MoMA and his ongoing influence and legacy.

Summary:
In ''Pidginization as curatorial method: Messing with languages and praxes'', renowned curator and director Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung proposes Pidgin languages as expressions of resistance to settler colonialism and pidginization as a way to approach curating (and the world), creating new spaces for encounter, knowledge, and pluralities. Deftly deploying the thinking, writing, and rhythmic beat of musicians, philosophers, linguists, poets, and novelists, Ndikung offers a new vision for activist curatorial practice and beyond. This is the third volume of the series ''Thoughts on Curating'', edited by Steven Henry Madoff.

"Our interest in research lies in mediating the complexity of what we define as art in the widest sense of the term, in other words in developing an ´operating system´ that attempts in all its facets to balance order and change, old and new, theory and practice."

Summary:
Throughout their history, architecture exhibitions have embraced different approaches and constructed other modes of action within the discipline, playing a pivotal role in disseminating, diffusing, and experimenting with architectural culture. This volume looks at curatorial practice in architecture and how ecological issues are addressed in the context of curatorial thinking and exhibition-making. Five architects with a curatorial practice are interviewed (Paola Antonelli, Pedro Gadanho, Paula Nascimento, Maria Otero Verzier, and Paulo Tavares), all of whom contribute to current debates in architecture while exploring how to perceive the main challenges of our world.
