The Politics of Curatorial Themes: Immortality from Conception to Display in the 5th Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art
Using the fifth edition of the Ural Industrial Biennial of Contemporary Art: Immortality (Yekaterinburg, 2019) as a case study, this article examines the inconsistencies across a curatorial theme, its development in discourse, and its materialization in the exhibition. The article
posits that these inconsistencies stem from fraught relationships between the global and the local developed by the curatorial framing of the exhibition’s principal theme ‐ immortality and its relations with Russian cosmism. Through exploring the politics of biennial themes, the
article puts pressure on the idea of the curator as the indisputable author and highlights the complex politics involved in curatorial practice, such as the contradictions that can occur between the conceptualizing of a theme and its materialization in an exhibition.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Curatorial Studies is an international, peer-reviewed 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 in-depth 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.
