The Exhibitionist:
Journal on Exhibition Making
February 11th 2010
The Exhibitionist, a new journal made by curators, for curators, focusing solely on the practice of exhibition making. The objective is to create a wider platform for the
discussion of curatorial concerns – encourage a diversification of curatorial models, and actively contribute to
the formation of a theory of curating. It is published by Archive Books and will be distributed internationally, selling at major and specialty bookstores and newsstands.
The Exhibitionist is published twice a year and follows a strict editorial structure. In each issue, the Curators’ Favorites section presents three texts in which three curators write a personal essay about an exhibition, contemporary or historic, that has particularly impacted
their thinking, followed by Back in the Day – an in-depth look at a historically important exhibition. In Assessments, the core of the journal, four curators reviews a significant
contemporary exhibition, each from his or her individual point of view.
Typologies debates specific exhibition formats. Attitude features a text by a member of the editorial board reflecting on the current state of exhibition making. In Rear Mirror, two curators reflect upon exhibitions they have recently curated.
And, finally, Endnote, a brief remark on a notable aspect of curatorial practice. Every fourth issue includes a conversation between some of the contributors about past issues; in this way the journal offers a forum for self-reflexivity.
