Morning CRUMBsters, I thought I could add another interesting example to the list of curatorial transparency projects, but in retrospect rather than in advance: The exhibition Dear Lynda, currently on view at the Cooper Gallery at the University of Dundee features material from the archive of curator Lynda Morris. The catalogue is essentially a newsprint-like booklet (they call it an autobiographical 'zine) reproducing the material alongside extended labels/commentaries written in the first person by Lynda explaining the significance or story behind each object. http://www.dundee.ac.uk/djcad/exhibitions/exhibitions/dear-lynda/ It is a refreshing change from usual curatorial-process-histories which are based around interviews with the curators (ref Hans Ulrich Obrist) in that this one is instead built around an archives. A similarly wonderful show has been on view in the Education Center of MoMA about the papers of Seth Siegelaub which are now preserved as part of the library/archive at MoMA, though the labels are written by the archivist/conservator and not by the curatorial subject in question. http://www.moma.org/visit/calendar/exhibitions/1352 I wonder if we are seeing the next stage in curatorial study -- exhibitions devoted to the practice of curators. Can anyone name any others? (has the Getty mounted a show about Szeeman yet?) Lindsay, it would be great if you could recap any links you've been sent off-list back here to the list for us. thanks Sarah On 8 Mar 2013, at 20:44, Lindsay Howard wrote: > Hey CRUMB, > > I wrote an essay for Hyperallergic's #TumblrArt series called "The Way We > Share: Transparency in Curatorial > Practice<http://hyperallergic.com/66581/the-way-we-share-transparency-in-curatorial-practice/>", > discussing Paola Antonelli, Nicholas O'Brien, and Domenico Quaranta's > research blogs.
