Archives on Show — Revoicing, Shapeshifting, Displacing

Focusing on the relationship between archive and exhibition, ‘Archives on Show’ explores the many ways that relationship can be shaped for new connections in a curatorial approach. Beyond the practices of selecting, assembling, and ordering materials, curation is process-oriented, bringing the potential of reformulating the social and political relevance of archives. With contributions by artists, curators, and theorists presenting 22 different ways of dealing with archives, this volume highlights the techniques and methods of archival curation that reshape archival logic, structures, and conditions that open them up for the future.
