 - SouthEastAsia – Spaces of the Curatorial – Räume des Kuratorischen
The 63rd edition of the Jahresring series—one of the longest continually published annual journals for contemporary art in Germany—focuses on the practice of curating in Southeast Asia, a region experiencing a time of increased global visibility as well as nation and institution building.
How do curators engage with the intricacies of a particular place, and how do they respond to the specificities of the local under the expectations of the international? The diversity of voices in this publication mirrors the complexity of the region itself: its various curatorial spaces, infrastructures, and political systems. What emerges is a highly diverse art system that shifts away from traditional formats to embrace new or alternative platforms—from symposia to fieldwork—with the aim of emphasizing curating as a process of critical thinking that goes beyond presentations and representations.
Edited by Ute Meta Bauer and Brigitte Oetker.
