Summary:
"This book walks us through the process of how artworks eventually get their meaning. Using notions of belonging and membership and applying analytic perspectives, it shows us how curated exhibitions invite audience members to infer an exhibition's narrative threads, giving artworks their contents and discursive sense. By drawing on a range of case studies from Impressionism, Dada, and Surrealism to more contemporary exhibitions such as Maurizio Cattelan's "All" and "Damien Hirst", this is a new reading of exploration, conceptualisation, presentation, and reception, informing and illuminating current debates in curatorial practice"-- Provided by publisher.
