Beyond the Box : Diverging Curatorial Practices

Originating from a conference on curatorial practice at the Banff Centre in 2000, this book contains 13 essays by Canadian and international curators and artists who raise questions about their endeavours in this field. The book is divided into four sections that correspond with four areas of inquiry the editor Townsend describes as critical to contemporary curators: publications, biennales, the curation of new media, and the current state of art museums. Biographical notes. Circa 130 bibl. ref.
