Raising Frankenstein

Edited by Kitty Scott and including essays by Barbara Fischer, Teresa Gleadowe, Francesco Manacorda, Cuauhtémoc Medina, and Lourdes Morales; this book offers an overview of thinking on curatorial pedagogy, designed to elucidate, define and build on debates surrounding this subject. The five essays, complemented by a collective discussion, provide a set of cogent inquiries and analyses for all those, from students to practitioners, who concern themselves with the presentation and theorization of contemporary art. At its heart lies the single question, "Where does the curatorial profession reside?" Co-produced with Koenig Books, Cologne, Raising Frankenstein is developed from the 2008 conference Trade Secrets: Education/Collection/History, organized by the Banff International Curatorial Institute, Banff, in collaboration with Teresa Gleadowe.
