Instead, this book stresses the collaborative nature of curatorial practices, debunking the twin myths of \u003ci\u003eautonomous artists\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003esovereign artistic directors\u003c\/i\u003e and treating presentation and reception as separate processes. Employing set theory to distinguish curated exhibitions from uncurated exhibitions, installation art and collections, it demonstrates how exhibitions grant spectators access to concepts that aid their capacity to grasp artifacts as artworks. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e To inform and illuminate current debates in curatorial practice, Spaid draws on a range of case studies from Impressionism, Dada and Surrealism to more contemporary exhibitions such as Maurizio Cattelan \"All\" (2011) and \"Damien Hirst\" (2012). In articulating the process that cycles through exploration, interpretation, presentation and reception, curating bears resemblance to artistic direction more generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSue Spaid is an Independent Scholar and Associate Editor of \u003ci\u003eAesthetic Investigations.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 280\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 21, 2022\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52439796056371,"sku":"9781350184015","price":84.31,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/SlozWW45dmJoNncxejNseTBzajRkdz09.webp?v=1758858870","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-philosophy-of-curatorial-practice-between-work-and-world-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
