The New Curator: Exhibiting Architecture and Design examines the
challenges inherent in exhibiting design ideas. Traditionally,
exhibitions of architecture and design have predominantly focused
on displaying finished outcomes or communicating a work through
representation. In this ground-breaking new book, Fleur Watson
unveils the emergence of the 'new curator'. Instead of exhibiting
finished works or artefacts, the rise of 'performative curation'
provides a space where experimental methods for encountering design
ideas are being tested. Here, the role of the curator is not that
of 'custodian' or 'expert' but with the intent to create a shared
space of encounter with audiences. To illustrate this phenomenon,
the book explores a diverse, international range of exhibitions.
Divided into six themes, a series of project profiles are
contextualized through conversations with influential curators and
cultural producers such as Paola Antonelli, Kayoko Ota, Mimi
Zeiger, Catherine Ince, Aric Chen, Zoe Ryan, Beatrice Leanza, Prem
Krishnamurthy, Marina Otero Verzier, Brook Andrew, Carroll Go-Sam,
Rory Hyde, Eva Franch i Gilabert, Patti Anahory and Paula
Nascimento. Featuring over 100 color illustrations, this highly
designed, beautiful book offers an innovative contribution to the
field. An essential read for students and professionals in
architecture, design, art, visual culture, museum studies,
curatorial studies and cultural theory. The book also features a
foreword by Deyan Sudjic and an afterword by Leon van Schaik AO.
