<p>Ten international art related professionals consider the increased influence of independent curators and cultural producers and how the role of the curator has changed over the last ten years. Using examples from past exhibitions and personal experiences, the writers address how working within an institution differs from being independent, the difficulties of balancing artistic vision with expectations of funders and institutions, and the ethical issues of working with artists and collectors, among many other subjects. A resource text for students and others interested in the curatorial field, Cautionary Tales: Critical Curating will provide valuable and interesting reading for students considering a curatorial career and others interested in current trends in today's art world.</p>

<p>Texts: Elegy for an Unclaimed Beloved | by Geeta Kapur Making the Maximum of the Mininum | by Anders Kreuger The Art of Nasreen Mohamedi | by John Yau the grid, unplugged | by Deepak Talwar This publication is the first publication to focus on Nasreen Mohamedi’s seminal group of “Grid” works from the 1970s. This body of work exhibited at Documenta 12 in 2007 was then brought together in the solo exhibition” the grid, unplugged” at Talwar Gallery in 2008. Employing just a pen and pencil on a square piece of paper Mohamedi transformed them into a tour de force. Remarkably executed decades ago in an environment where narrative and figurative art was the rule, Mohamedi’s clarity of pursuit and resolve is matched only by the taut tensile energy resonating through the lines. Dismantling the rigidity of the grid, she infuses them with a dynamic rhythm that at times soars, dives, expands, and collapses. With several full page reproductions, and some almost life size this publication is the closest that comes to experiencing her works besides the real thing. January 2009 | English | 11 x 10 in | Hardcover 92 pages with 58 color illustrations (20 Full-page)</p>
