The publication as evocation: exhibition histories’ printed matter

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:This article looks at three case studies to probe into the fruitful relation between art exhibitions and the publications that follow from them. Phaidon’s Exhibitions That Made Art History are examples of the weightiness of exhibitions’ reception, and useful to analyse the ploys with which exhibition histories impact the construction of art histories. A couple of Mousse magazine issues help to expand the possibilities of documentation, criticise the reliance on images and ponder if rhizomatic histories can be woven from a plurality of voices. The exhibition catalogue of When Attitudes Become Form (2013) serves to unpack exhibitions’ “aura” and the possibility of thinking beyond their (un)repeatability. Following the idea that publications cannot be regarded as neutral evocations of exhibitions, the article traces the ways in which these two platforms of display intertwine to create exhibition histories.
