Curating the Complex & The Open Strike

Curating the Complex & The Open Strike offers a visionary analysis of what Terry Smith identifies as the “visual arts exhibitionary complex.” In this book, the renowned art historian and writer maps the institutional and quasi-institutional framework for contemporary art that sprawls across the globe. He then delves into a powerful form of curatorial activism rising up in the exhibitionary complex: Open Strike. This is the inaugural volume of the series Thoughts on Curating, edited by Steven Henry Madoff.
