|  A Curator's BookshelfIn On Curating, Carolee Thea writes, "Among the major figures to have come of age in [today's] cultural milieu is the independent curator, whose importance can be compared to that of the literary critic's in the 1950s or the business consultant's in the 80s. Yet, aesthetically, curators are more like theater directors, and it could be argued that they follow a performance paradigm rather than one based on the object or commodity. We could say they are translators, movers or creators whose material is the work of others—but in any case, the role of mediator is inescapable. While the art critic embodies the generalized gaze of the public, the curator inversely translates the artist's work by providing a context to enable the public's understanding. The expanding geography of the art world, the complexity and interdisciplinary nature of artistic proposals, and the demands of various publics create a situation in which mediation plays an ever more crucial role in the exploration and dissemination of art." | TITLE ALPHABETICAL INDEX JRP|RingierISBN: 9783905829556 USD $24.95 | CAD $33.95 UK £ 12.95Pub Date: 10/1/2008 Active | In stock

The publication explores what it means to practice internationally” in a series of case studies: an artists’ assembly from the 1990s organized against an art fair, an artist’s alliance with migrant workers, a class-based critique within international feminism, transcultural ways of life developed in the LGBTQ . . . .go to book page >> |  | STATUS: Forthcoming | 6/24/2025 This title is not yet published in the U.S. To pre-order or receive notice when the book is available, please email orders @ artbook.com | VALIZ/CASCO ISBN 9789492095619

Asserting that design sexualizes”, design colonizes” and design manipulates,” Berlin-based architect, curator and professor of design theory Friedrich von Borries (born 1974) casts a new perspective on Cola advertisements, Sony Walkmans and the Le Corbusier chaise longue. Using the example of state receptions, electoral procedures and medal presentations, von Borries poses the question of whether political proceedings and forms of representation should be redesigned. A concluding glossary lists terms such as responsibility”, self-realization”, products” and market” to suggest the areas designers and architects must act in today if they wish to design with political responsibility.
