What is the future of curatorship? Is there a vision for an ideal
model, a curatopia, whether in the form of a utopia or dystopia? Or
is there a plurality of approaches, amounting to a curatorial
heterotopia? This pioneering volume addresses these questions by
considering the current state of curatorship. It reviews the
different models and approaches operating in museums, galleries and
cultural organisations around the world and discusses emerging
concerns, challenges and opportunities. The collection explores the
ways in which the mutual, asymmetrical relations underpinning
global, scientific entanglements of the past can be transformed
into more reciprocal, symmetrical forms of cross-cultural
curatorship in the present, arguing that this is the most effective
way for curatorial practice to remain meaningful. International in
scope, the volume covers three regions: Europe, North America and
the Pacific. -- .
