Scope/Description:

The Journal of Curatorial Studies is an international peerreviewed publication that explores the cultural functioning of curating and its relation to exhibitions institutions audiences aesthetics and display culture. The journal takes a wide perspective in the inquiry into what constitutes the curatorial. Curating has evolved considerably from the connoisseurship model of arranging objects to now encompass performative virtual and interventionist strategies. While curating as a spatialized discourse of art objects remains important the expanded cultural practice of curating not only produces exhibitions for audiences to view but also plays a catalytic role in redefining aesthetic experience framing cultural conditions in institutions and communities and inquiring into constructions of knowledge and ideology. As a critical and responsive forum for debate in the emerging field of curatorial studies the journal will foster scholarship in the theory practice and history of curating as well as that of exhibitions and display culture in general. The journal supports indepth investigations of contemporary and historical exhibitions case studies of curators and their engagements and analyses of the critical dynamics influencing the production of exhibitions in art and broader display culture. The Journal of Curatorial Studies invites contributions from scholars within curatorial studies art history museum studies cultural studies and other academic disciplines. The journal publishes both thematic and open issues and features research articles contemporary and historical case studies interviews with curators artists and theorists and reviews of books exhibitions and conferences.
