Hospitality: Hosting Relations in Exhibitions (Cultures of the Curatorial 3)

A curatorial situation is always one of hospitality: it implies invitations; it receives, welcomes, and temporarily brings people and objects together; it offers resources to satisfy very different kinds of needs; and importantly, it operates in the space between an unconditional acceptance, on the one hand, and a regulated conditionality, on the other.
Viewed from the perspective of hospitality, the goal of this publication is to analyze and discuss the curatorial within the context of current socio-political situations. These include key topics concerning the current migrant situation, such as conditions of decontextualization and displacement among refugees, encounters between the local and the foreign, and the satisfaction of basic human needs. With fifteen contributions by international curators, artists, critics, and theoreticians, this is the third volume in the series Cultures of the Curatorial by the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig
