Among the aesthetic and theoretical issues raised are the relationship between artist and curator, globalism, post-colonialism, capitalism, the future of cultural tourism and the biennial as spectacle or utopian ideal. As Thea notes in her introduction, \"the biennial or mega-exhibition--a laboratory for experimentation, investigation and aesthetic liberation--is where the curators' experience and knowledge are tested. As they negotiate venues for artistic expression, intellectual critiques and humanistic concerns in their own societies and others, they are challenged by the certainties and uncertainties of a constantly evolving future.\" Thea's interviewees are Joseph Backstein, Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev, Okwui Enwezor, Charles Esche, Massimiliano Gioni, RoseLee Goldberg, Mary Jane Jacob, Pi Li, Virginia Perez-Ratton and Rirkrit Tiravanija. On Curating also includes 50 color illustrations of relevant works by (among others) Kutlug Ataman, Tamy Ben-Tor, John Bock, Cao Fei, Olafur Eliasson, Isaac Julien, Francois \u0026amp; Philippe Parreno, Yvonne Rainer, Michael Rakowitz, Doris Salcedo, Allan Sekula, Yinka Shonibare and Francesca Woodman.

A Scheme to Annihilate Magnificent Distances is both a memoir and the reflection of an era of social and political unrest. Thea’s memories of growing up in post-World War II Brooklyn emerge in poetry-like texts that live beside her story of breaking into the male-dominated New York City art scene in the late 1960s. This combined narrative style, which moves between stream-of-consciousness and structured prose, establishes the rhythm and tone of the book. Thea’s art, much of which is exhibited in this volume, received immediate recognition. Her feminism and her role in the women’s rights movement are telling of the times and deeply personal, and understanding this is central to understanding her art. Following the death of her mother, the nature of Thea's creative output shifts, and she produces critical rhetoric for the art world in which she was so immersed. A Scheme to Annihilate Magnificent Distances is a record of the artist's memories and experience, of her art and activism, and it is yet another way in which she has expressed her perception of the world she inhabits.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":53644538151185,"sku":"NGR9781966515401","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781966515401.jpg?v=1781044019"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-carolee-thea.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
