From the 1990s onwards the 'ethnographic turn in contemporary art'
has generated intense dialogues between anthropologists, artists
and curators. While ethnography has been both generously and
problematically re-appropriated by the art world, curation has
seldom caught the conceptual attention of anthropologists. Based on
two years of participant-observation in Mexico City, Tarek Elhaik
addresses this lacuna by examining the concept-work of curatorial
platforms and media artists. Taking his cue from ongoing critiques
of Mexicanist aesthetics, and what Roger Bartra calls 'the
post-Mexican condition', Elhaik conceptualises curation less as an
exhibition-oriented practice within a national culture, than as a
figure of care and an image of thought animating a complex
assemblage of inter-medial practices, from experimental cinema and
installations to curatorial collaborations. Drawing on Gilles
Deleuze and Paul Rabinow, the book introduces the concept of the
'Incurable-Image, ' an antidote to our curatorial malaise and the
ethical substance for a post-social anthropology of images.
