Illustrated with contemporary case studies, Curating Design
provides a history of and introduction to design curatorial
practice both within and outside the museum. Donna Loveday begins
by tracing the history of the collecting and display of designed
objects in museums and exhibitions from the 19th century 'cabinet
of curiosities' to the present day design museum. She then explores
the changing role of the curator since the 1980s, with curators
becoming much more than just ‘keepers’ of a collection, with a
remit to create narrative and experiential exhibitions as well as
develop the museum’s role as a space of learning for its
visitors. Curating as a practice now describes the production of a
number of cultural and creative outputs, ranging from exhibitions
to art festivals; shopping environments to health centres;
conferences to film programming as well as museums and galleries.
Loveday explores how design has come to the fore in curatorial
practice, with new design museums opening around the world as well
as blockbusting exhibitions of fashion and popular culture.
Interviews with leading practitioners from international design and
arts museums provide a spotlight on contemporary challenges and
best practice in design curatorship.
