Following the bestseller from 2007 Curating Subjects Open Editions (London) and de Appel arts centre (Amsterdam) publish
the companion: Curating and the Educational Turn.
In recent years there has been increased debate about the incorporation of pedagogy into art and curatorial practice – about
what has been termed 'the educational turn'. In this follow up volume to the critically acclaimedCurating Subjects, artists,
curators, critics and academics respond to this widely recognised sense of art's paradigmatic re-orientation towards the
educational. Consisting primarily of newly commissioned texts, from interviews and position statements to performative texts
and dialogues, Curating and the Educational Turn also includes a small number of previously published writings that have
proved pivotal in the debate so far. This anthology presents an essential enquiry for anyone interested in the cultural politics of
production at the intersections of art, curating, and educational praxis.
