- This 90,000-word monograph analyses in detail 10 large-scale exhibitions presented at high-profile art museums from 2007-2012 to theorize a complex and emerging field of curatorial practice that takes performance as its organising principle. Critiquing the practical and theoretical work of over 30 curators, and artworks and performances by more than 60 artists and collectives, the book develops an original methodology, taking exhibition as its primary unit of discourse and approaching artworks in their curation together. Offering critical insight into intersections between theatricality and art museums, the book reconceptualises exhibition as a dynamic context wherein traditions of display and performance interact.
