The Art of Curating
Description
The Art of Curating
offers a deep look into the rapidly evolving world of curatorial practice. As global cultural landscapes shift, leading curators share how they reinvent their artistic and organizational approaches. The book brings together voices from all continents - from museum directors and biennial leaders to independent curators - offering rare insights into the future of curating.
Among them are Max Hollein, Director of The Metropolitan Museum of Art; Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director of the Serpentine; Koyo Kouoh, visionary curator of the Venice Biennale and advocate for contemporary African art; Anda Rottenberg, one of Poland's most influential curators; and Yuko Hasegawa, internationally acclaimed Japanese curator.
Their reflections on practice, vision, and responsibility illuminate the challenges and opportunities shaping tomorrow's exhibitions. Aimed especially at emerging curators,
The Art of Curating
fosters knowledge, expertise, and new European and global networks - an essential guide for anyone shaping the cultural narratives of the future.
