'"Thinking About Exhibitions" presents a multi-disciplinary anthology of writings on current exhibition practice by curators, critics, artists, sociologists and historians from North America, Europe and Australia. It marks out the emergence of new discourses surrounding the exhibition and illustrates the urgency of the debates centred in and fostered by exhibitions today. The essays investigate exhibitions in settings outside of the traditional gallery as well as innovative work in extending cultural debates within the museum. Texts have been grouped in sections which focus on the history of the exhibition, forms of staging and spectacle, and questions of curatorship, spectatorship and narrative.'
