'Drawing on his own experiences and inspirations — from staging his first exhibition in his tiny Zurich kitchen in 1991 to encounters and conversations with artists, exhibition makers and thinkers alive and dead — Hans Ulrich Obrist's Ways of Curating looks to inspire all those engaged in the creation of culture.

Flitting from meetings with the artists who have inspired him (including Gerhard Richter and Gilbert and George) to the creation of the first public museums in the eighteenth century, recounting the practice of inspirational figures such as Diaghilev and Walter Hopps, skipping between exhibitions (Obrist's own and others), continents and centuries, Ways of Curating argues that curation is far from a static practice. Driven by curiosity, at its best it allows us to create the future.' - from publisher's website.
