Curating Subjects

'In a contemporary art world increasingly becoming just another obedient sector of the capitalist "entertainment" industry, it is encouraging to see that a critical spirit is still analysing the past, present and possible future role of curators and art exhibitions, whether as experimental laboratory, as social analysis, as temporary site, as studio, as political resistance or as pedagogic tool. From the curator as museum employee to the curator as collaborator, as facilitator, as militant activist or as "artist-in-chief", a collection of texts which will certainly mark out the range of problems needing to be answered.' —Seth Siegelaub (back cover)
