Résumé:
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences; architects constantly redesign them; and the ever-swellling ranks of artists are producing a greater quantity of art than ever before. Meanwhile, museum funds are dwindling amid economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected has also become a more openly discussed topic. How do curators meet these challenges? How do artists view their relationships to museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals and realities? This publication gathers interviews with artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger and Beatrix Ruf, among others.

Résumé:
The Public Collectors project, operated by Marc Fischer since 2007, encourages collectors of material culture — the kind that most museums won’t collect or exhibit — to “open” their collections to the public. Fischer’s perspective is intrinsically linked to his participation in underground punk and metal scenes in the 1980s, a sensibility that also inflects his practice as one-third of the celebrated artist collective Temporary Services. This collection meanders from paper ephemera to photography — including a visual tour of Chicago’s famed Swap-O-Rama. The contents also include adult Mexican comic books and postcards from outsider artist John Rininger. This publication is paired with documentation of the artist’s contribution to the 2014 Whitney Biennial plus an interview with punk ephemera collector Stephen Perkins, exploring the politics of collecting materials with little or no conventional cultural value.

Since the publication of Thinking Contemporary Curating in 2012, art historian Terry Smith has continued his travels through the globalizing art world, talking to curators. The dozen searching conversations in this book--with Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Claire Bishop, Zdenka Badovinac, Mami Kataoka, Mari Carmen Ramírez, Okwui Enwezor, Germano Celant, Jens Hoffmann, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Maria Lind, Zoe Butt and Boris Groys--provide a vivid sense of contemporary curatorial thought at work. They show curators deeply immersed in thinking about the exigencies of practice, the contexts of exhibition-making, the platforms through which art may be made public, and about what their work can contribute toward understanding what it means to be alive today.
