Cultures of the Curatorial: Timing on the Temporal Dimension of Exhibiting

'Processuality and performativity, and more recently dramaturgy and choreography, have become central terms in the analysis of exhibitions and other presentational formats. These attributions reflect the changes curatorial practice has undergone over the past twenty years in the wider context of cultural and economic globalization and the related notions of acceleration, process orientation, and mobility. In this light, the exhibition manifests itself as a transdiciplinary and transcultural set of spatiotemporal relations, which is time-based by its very nature. Focusing on time instead of the typically predominant category of space, this publication - the second volume in the Cultures of the Curatorial series - takes up the key aesthetic, social, political, and economic issues of the early twenty-first century, running through the field framed by the axes of exhibiting and the temporal.
