Why exhibit? vol. 2 On Curating Photography

Titled "Why Exhibit?", this book is a collection of articles and conversations on curatorial practices related to photo-based images. The discussion centers 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, which is often hidden by power structures and narratives of silence, and what mediations are needed while exploring new forms of authorship and interaction with the audience. The book offers contemporary insights into a wide range of experiences, reflections and perspectives from the perspectives of curators, photographers, visual artists, writers and researchers.

With the spread of machine translation, non-English speakers are finally able to access contemporary discussions in real time.This is a good opportunity to broaden your knowledge of what topics are being discussed at the moment. Try translating a topic that interests you and reading it first. Great for winter reading.
