The book is largely focused on biennales, which it argues are the
contemporary exhibition models with the greatest capacity to offer
new perspectives and propose alternative ways of connecting with
our social and natural environments. The author demonstrates this
by showing how curators of these high-profile exhibitions are
responding in creative and engaging ways to the issues that
preoccupy artists and society more broadly, of which the ecological
crisis is paramount. Drawing on case studies from different parts
of the world, the author reveals how biennales can make a
constructive contribution to debates and attitudes around climate
change, and how the role of the curator has evolved to embrace a
duty of care not just to art but to the natural world. Curating in
a Time of Ecological Crisis investigates how large-scale
exhibitions of contemporary international art can become agents of
change. As such, the book will be essential reading for scholars,
students and practitioners with an interest in exhibitions,
curating, contemporary art and environmental sustainability.
