The Artist as Curator. This item is unavailable.The Artist as Curator

In recent years, the museum and gallery have increasingly become self-reflexive spaces, in which the relationship between art, its display, its creators and its audience is subverted and democratised. One effect of this has been a growing place for artists as curators, and in The Artist as Curator Celina Jeffery brings together a group of scholars and artists to explore the many ways that artists have introduced new curatorial ways of thinking and talking about artistic culture. Taking a deliberately multidisciplinary and cross-cultural focus, The Artist as Curator will fill a gap in museum and curatorial studies, offering a thorough and diverse treatment of various approaches to the historical and changing role of the artist as curator that should appeal to scholars, curators and artists alike.

Celina Jeffery is an associate professor of art history at the University of Ottawa and a curator. Recent publications include Ephemeral Coast (2015), The Artist as Curator (2015), the ‘Junk Ocean’ issue of Drain: A Journal of Contemporary Art and Culture (2016) and the ‘Towards a Blue Humanity’ issue of Symploke (2019). She is the founder of Ephemeral Coast (2015–present, www.ephemeralcoast.com), a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council-funded curatorial research project.
