Recensione:
In a contemporary art world increasingly becoming just another obedient sector of the capitalist entertainment industry, it is encouraging to see that a critical spirit is still analyzing the past, present and possible future role of curators and art exhibitions, whether as experimental laboratory, as social analysis, as temporary site, as studio, as political resistance or as pedagogic tool. From the curator as museum employee to the curator as collaborator, as facilitator, as militant activist or as artist-in-chief, a collection of texts which will certainly mark out the range of problems needing to be answered. --Seth Siegelaub
Curating Subjects well represents O Neill s collaborative, inclusive and wide-ranging way of working and thinking. The result is a book that opens windows and doors in all directions and forces us to look across vistas we knew existed, but had chosen to ignore. Curatorial practice has morphed, diversified and multiplied in ways none of us could have foreseen: here we see the multiple avenues and even rivers of possibility open out before us, and, in addition, it is a good read. --AA Bronson
