This book was published in conjunction with the exhibition Alternatives to Ritual at the Goethe Open Space in Shanghai from September 2012 to March 2013.

'Alternatives to Ritual, both as an exhibition and a publication, attempts to look at the crises in exhibition making and curatorial practice by proposing a reconstruction of the relationships between artists, institution and curator through exploring the exhibition format. Examining a number of artistic practices emerging in recent years that reflect on the ritual of exhibiting presented throughout this exhibition, as well as through a number of commissioned texts. This publication proposes a new understanding of what an exhibition can constitute, as well as what function curatorial practice in our current context should perform.' - from back cover.

A separate sheet presenting the ongoing project Art Worlds in the Making: From Utopia to Reality in the form of a timeline is included with this publication. The project is initiated by 3 curators, Alex Hodby, Biljana Ciric and Seng Yu to map an ongoing dialogue about significant events that shape the history of art.

Includes biographies of artists and authors, and a timeline of the exhibition.

Please note that the Chinese version of this publication 慣例下的狂歡 is also in AAA's archive.
