An increasing proportion of exhibitions are curated by artists
rather than professional curators. In this ground-breaking book
Alison Green provides the first critical history of visual artists
curating exhibitions. The artist emerges as someone who carries a
special responsibility for critiquing art's institutions, brings
considerable creativity to the craft of making exhibitions and,
through experimentation, has changed the way exhibitions are
understood to be authored and experienced. But the book also
establishes a curious ubiquity to the artist-curated exhibition.
Rather than being exceptional or rare, artists curate all the time
and in all kinds of places: in galleries and in museums, in
studios, in borrowed spaces such as shopfronts or industrial
buildings, in front rooms and front windows, in zoos or concert
halls, on streets and in nature. Seen from the perspective of
artists, showing is a part of making art. Once this idea is
understood, the history of art starts to look very different. With
extensive explorations of well-known artists such as Daniel Buren,
Goshka Macuga, Thomas Hirschhorn, Rosemarie Trockel, Hito Steyerl,
Andy Warhol and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, this book will change the
way readers think about and look at exhibitions.
