Revue de presse

The editors of this volume have been pioneers in expanding a Meta field of inquiry for curators. With this new book they take one step further in dissecting the anatomy of curatorial practice in gathering a number of texts that are both speculative and analytic. They stick to the notion of curating as an interconnected endeavor that interlinks the aesthetic and the cognitive and carefully avoid falling into the pitfall of defining curatorial practice solely as a disembodied form of knowledge production. In so doing, they allow us to reflect on the function of research within curatorial practice both as a tool or prelude to exhibitions or presentations and as an autonomous, intellectual activity. O Neill and Wilson succeed in grabbing a topic that is at the forefront of many minds in the art world, yet through their in-depth approach they prevent it from becoming just a trendy short-lived issue. --Ann Demeester
