Exhibitions and curated | Канцтовары для офиса и дома

The academic study of the history of exhibitions and the curator is a relatively recent phenomenon. Although at its beginning it intertwined with the history of art and the studies of museology, in recent years it has acquired progressive autonomy. Exhibitions can be studied as public-sphere generators, such as discursive and representative areas, as devices producing psychological and social experiences and as production formats capable of determining artistic production. The curator is a practice of discursive mediation that takes force in the second half of the 20th century and whose "Do" is distinguished by the combination of practical and intellectual aspects that make sense of the heterogeneous set of contemporary art works. This book intertwines both genealogies and proposes a unified history of their convergence. To do this, it displays six accounts that cross this cross-section and proposes lines of interpretation of a more thematic nature than chronological.
