Description
The art exhibition is the object of a wide range of critical explorations in contemporary practice and theory. Exhibition may be approached as a genre, as an apparatus and/or as a poetics (a process of worldmaking) and there is a wide and growing literature on exhibition histories and on the exhibition as a site of enquiry where these different constructions are employed. This volume seeks to add to the current wide range of scholarship, critique and curatorial experimentation that considers the affordances of exhibition. It seeks to do so with respect to the question of political imagination. Political imagination is intended here to suggest general operations of imagination in the realm of the political, and also the specific, more technical concept of the political imaginary.
