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

Hers : Video as a Female Terrain

The curator, Rollig, claims that the theme of “Hers” is not women’s art per se, but rather, a continuing feminist critique of the representation of women in the media. The work of twenty five artists, three of whom are men, is presented along with short essays, artist’s statements, scripts, and CVs. Three other authors situate the videos in essays that deal with their relationship to mass culture, art history, and cinema. Biographical notes. Bibliography 2 p., 46 bibl. ref
