Summary:
"This book, A Companion to Curation will fill a crucial and longstanding gap in the literature on the curator, curating and the history of curating in its varied forms. This collection of chapters aims to be a clear, engaging and timely publication, and the major reference text in the field. The book is divided into four broad conceptual sections: One: An Overview: The origin and provenance of curating Two: Movements, Models, People and Politics Three: Curating in a Globalised World Four: Beyond the Museum: Curating at the frontier This book, which is part of the Blackwell Companion series, provides a reference work for the field of curatorial studies and curating in the visual arts that is comprehensive in scope and context, comprehensible to the non-specialist, and representative of the diversity of current approaches within the profession and beyond"-- Provided by publisher.
