Item Number: 129288 Title: Pigeons on the Grass Alas : Contemporary Curators Talk about the Field Author: Marincola, Paula ; Peter Nesbett (eds) Price: Not Available ISBN: 9780988710900 Description: Philadlephia: The Pew Center for Arts & Heritage, 2014. 19cm., pbk., 112pp., 23 color illus. Summary: This book is a unique convening of experts--unique because the "convening" only takes place within its pages. A roster of curators, affectionately dubbed "pigeons," were invited to respond to an evolving list of questions, what the editors called a "pigeonnaire," about their approach to their work. This pigeonnaire probed such topics as influences, daily practice, artistūcurator relationships and the curatorĘs responsibility to society. Over the course of a year, the pigeons dropped by with their answers, and the editors then strung together the questions and answers in a continuous narrative that reads something like the transcript of a large meeting, providing a portrait of common ground and fissures in the field of curating now.
