'Research is of paramount importance as a fundamental basis for all that museums do. Engaging with the diverse viewpoints of authors in the vanguard of theoretical discussions and curatorial practices, The Curatorial in Parallax maps out the multiplicity of endeavors to reform and transform research vis-a-vis the art museum. This spectrum—from new theoretical models of research, to specific forms of practice-based research and knowledge production, to the potential for institutions to be changed by the very dynamics of research—shows that the curatorial is a moving object of research, or something made by its trajectory. Despite differences and displacements of what the curatorial is, who engages with it and how, it seems indisputable that the curatorial can take on a specific and substantial dimension whenever a labor of research is set in motion.' - from back cover.
