Curating & Repair is a new book and part of a three-year project exploring contemporary curatorial practices and exhibition-making as contexts for dialogue, exchange and the remaking of social and cultural relations through the idea of ‘repair’.
It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds.
Curating & Repair discusses the importance of challenging normative power relations in artistic collaboration, alongside the difficulties of sustaining creative work against the undertow of multiplying global crises. By aligning the curatorial with the dialogical, it calls attention to the serious, collective work that artists, mediators and publics perform.
