Since the 1990s, the discourse on curating has often centered around the figure of the professional curator, viewing exhibition politics as a direct result of curatorial intent. However, contemporary shifts in institutional models, funding policies, and collection strategies have unveiled realms of curatorial practice that lie beyond the curator's control.

This groundbreaking volume brings together essays by renowned art theorists and cultural scholars, moving beyond the traditional focus on the curator. It delves into the often-overlooked dimensions of exhibition politics, uncovering uncharted territories of influence and decision-making.

Perfect for professionals, students, and anyone interested in the evolving landscape of art exhibitions, this book challenges conventional perspectives and offers invaluable insights into the complex interplay of curation, institutions, and external forces shaping the art world today.
