Summary

In recent years, the museum and gallery have increasingly become self-reflexive spaces, in which the relationship between art, its display,its creators, and its audience is subverted and democratized. one effect of this has been a growing place for artists as curators, and in The Artist as Curator Celina Jeffery brings together a group of scholars and artists to explore the many ways that artists have introduced new curatorial ways of thinking and talking about artistic culture. Taking a deliberatelymultidisciplinary and cross-cultural focus, The Artist as Curator will fill agap in museum and curatorial studies, offering a thorough and diversetreatment of various approaches to the historical and changing role of theartist as curator that should appeal to scholars, curators, and artists alike.
