The increasing trend of artists curating exhibitions has brought forth a fresh perspective to the art world. In her groundbreaking book, Alison Green offers the first comprehensive account of visual artists taking on the role of curators. The artist emerges as a critical player, responsible for challenging the institutions of art and infusing exhibitions with a wealth of creativity. Through their experimental approach, artists have reshaped our understanding of exhibitions as authored and experienced entities.
What sets this book apart is its recognition of the ubiquity of artist-curated exhibitions. Rather than being exceptional or rare, artists curate across various spaces, including galleries, museums, studios, borrowed spaces, streets, and natural environments. For artists, showcasing is an integral part of their artistic process.
By examining the works of renowned artists such as Daniel Buren, Goshka Macuga, Thomas Hirschhorn, Rosemarie Trockel, Hito Steyerl, Andy Warhol, and Felix Gonzalez-Torres, this book offers a transformative perspective on exhibitions. It challenges readers to reevaluate their understanding and appreciation of these curated spaces, fostering a deeper engagement with the art world.
Through its extensive explorations and insightful analysis, "The Artist as Curator" has the potential to revolutionize the way we think about and experience exhibitions. It serves as a valuable resource for artists, curators, art enthusiasts, and anyone interested in exploring the dynamic relationship between art and curation.
