  • 1.  Exhibition Articles: Golden Oldies and New Hits?

    Posted 06-24-2018 05:21 PM
    I'm seeking a "top 20" (or so) list of articles written on the subject of exhibition development and design. What articles do you think established our practice? Which have stood the test of time? Which ones have advanced our field? 
    Do you have an old article that you've filed under "wish I had written that" or a new article that especially resonates for you? 
    Let me know!

    Matt,

    I'm eager to see what wonderful articles you receive. I'm partial to this piece that you encouraged me to write a few years ago. A Collaboration of Cultures: Designers & Clients Learning Together.

    While not an article I recommend the book Displays of Power: Controversy in the American Museum from the Enola Gay to Sensation!  It remains on my list of the top ten books anyone involved with museums must read, and occasionally reread.  Rarely do we inside the field go public in as frank and open a way as the author was able to get participants to when explaining the various exhibitions discussed.

    The Great Curatorial Dim-Out
    by Lawrence Alloway
    should be read by all curators, museum publishers, exhibition makers. His insight and ethical stance about market forces is especially relevant today, and despite the fact he missed a sea change with how the after-the-fact, exhibition rotation-documenting Richard Tuttle catalogue by Marsha Tucker/the Whitney marked a sea change, it's worth hearing the thoughts of an excellent exhibition maker who helped usher in earlier sea changes.
    "The Great Curatorial Dim-Out," Artforum 13, no. 9 (May 1975): 32–34. Reprinted in Lawrence Alloway, Network: Art and the Complex Present(Ann Arbor: UMI Research Press, 1984), 151-59.

    It's also worth checking in on Judy Rand's work, namely the "Visitors' Bill of Rights." It's a good "one-stop shopping" reminder of a lot of the ideas we always want to keep in mind when developing exhibits.
