Description
A new ethics for the global practice of curating Today, everyone is a curator. What was once considered a hallowed expertise is now a commonplace and global activity. Can this new worldwide activity be ethical and, if yes, how? This book argues that curating can be more than just selecting, organizing, and presenting information in galleries
Author Biography
Jean-Paul Martinon is reader in visual culture and philosophy at Goldsmiths College, University of London. His previous books include After Rwanda, The End of Man, and On Futurity. He is also editor of The Curatorial: A Philosophy of Curating.
Reviews"This is not only a masterful and wholly original rethinking of curating, it is also one of the most exciting treatises on ethics I have ever read. There are remarkably bracing philosophical insights on nearly every page, and Jean-Paul Martinon writes with such theoretical precision and poetic clarity. Heidegger after Martinon will forever have curating as part of 'building dwelling thinking.'"-John Paul Ricco, author of The Decision Between Us: Art and Ethics in the Time of Scenes
