Issues in Curating Contemporary Art and Performance proposes that
the concept of curating is a complex field of enquiry. By drawing
together artists, curators, architects and cultural theorists, it
proposes new approaches to curating and ways of developing critical
enquiry about this increasingly expanding field. Focusing on
pertinent issues in curating contemporary art and performance, the
book's four parts examine forms of thinking in contemporary
curating; curating and the interdisciplinary; as intervention and
contestation; as a form of reconsideration of conventional museum
spaces and as a problematic in 'emerging' practices. Beginning with
a contextual 'map' of recent thinking on curating which examines
some of the issues that have emerged in curatorial discourse over
the last ten years, the volume then investigates curating as a
research process and a form of collaboration in considering
contemporary photography and video. The relationships between
writing and curating, reception and encounter is proposed as part
of a way of thinking as a critical spatial practice, and
cross-disciplinary issues are considered in curating science / art
exhibitions. Historical and contemporary perspectives examine
issues of gender and marginalisation and diversity; and the
particular issues relating to curating and practices such as
animation, site-specific dance and computer-based work are
discussed.
