Why exhibit? vol. 2 On Curating Photography

Titled Why Exhibit?, this book collects the articles and conversations on curatorial practices related to photo-based images.

The discussion centres on the challenges facing curators and artists working with photography today: how to navigate the constantly changing face of photography, how to address issues of representation, how to deal with the weight of the medium's history—often hidden by power structures and narratives of silence—and what mediations are needed when exploring new forms of authorship and audience interaction. The book offers contemporary insights into a wide range of experiences, reflections, and perspectives from curators, photographers, visual artists, writers, and researchers.
