The discussions include and unpack such influential projects as \"Culture in Action\" curated by Mary Jane Jacob in 1993; \"Sonsbeek 93\" curated by Valerie Smith; \"Endlichkeit der Freiheit,\" an exhibition initiated by Heiner Müller and Rebecca Horn, on both sides of the former Berlin wall in 1990; \"Construction in Process,\" an artist-initiated site-specific exhibition in early 1980s Lódz, Poland; \"Five Gardens\" curated by Carlos Capelán in 1996 in Simrishamn and Ystad, Sweden, and \"U-media\" in 1987 Umeå, Sweden. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe dialogues focus on such questions as: How does one ethically and culturally deal with asymmetries? How have the notions of situated or embedded knowledge changed over the last decades? How can artworks actually create meaning from the place where they're produced? What were the early attempts of de-monumentalizing art outside of the museums; and, finally, what actually is non-extractive curating?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Sternberg Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/02\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783956796128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224","brand":"Curatorlab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42183804092597,"sku":"9783956796128","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_564ccc3e-1de3-4c85-a633-3fb5aafb043c.jpg?v=1654571043","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/assuming-asymmetries-conversations-on-curating-public-art-projects-in-the-1980s-and-1990s-9783956796128","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
