More about the book

The Exhibitionist: Journal on Exhibition Making' is an anthology of the first 12 issues of the journal about contemporary curating that bears the same name. Established in 2009 as a forum for critical reflection on exhibition-making and curatorial practice, 'The Exhibitionist' has always defined itself as ?by curators, for curators.? Modeled after the iconic French film journal 'Cahiers du cinéma', 'The Exhibitionist' has served a critical role in examining current curatorial practices by focusing specifically on the exhibition format as a site of experimentation and inquiry. 'The Exhibitionist' has historicized, analyzed and critiqued a phenomenon it is itself symptomatic of?the rise of the curator since the 1960s, the ensuing explosion of curatorial creativity and the growing fascination with the discipline of curating.
