In this ground-breaking book, Alison Green provides the first critical history of visual artists curating exhibitions. The artist emerges as someone who carries a special responsibility for critiquing art's institutions, brings considerable creativity to the craft of making exhibitions and, through experimentation, has changed the way exhibitions are understood to be authored and experienced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the book also establishes a curious ubiquity to the artist-curated exhibition. Rather than being exceptional or rare, artists curate all the time and in all kinds of places: in galleries and museums, in studios, in borrowed spaces such as shopfronts or industrial buildings, in front rooms and front windows, in zoos or concert halls, on streets and in nature. Seen from the perspective of artists, showing is a part of making art. Once this idea is understood, the history of art starts to look very different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith extensive explorations of well-known artists such as \u003cem\u003eDaniel Buren\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGoshka Macuga\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThomas Hirschhorn\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eRosemarie Trockel\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eHito Steyerl\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eAndy Warhol\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eFelix Gonzalez-Torres\u003c\/em\u003e, this book will change the way readers think about and look at exhibitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47601322885356,"sku":"9781780239330","price":54.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/629ae55f2d89a7b37c7dc9a454fff373.jpg?v=1778018118","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/products\/when-artists-curate-by-alison-green-9781780239330","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
