OnCurating Issue 37: Queer Curating

0/5 ( ratings)

Queer Theory understands gender and sexuality as relational constructs, subject to significant historical and cultural variation. Refusing to stabilize these variations into any singular norm, queer curating thus presents a challenge to the museum as a normalizing, meaning-making entity and asks how these concerns can be addressed in museum-practices, that have, for the most part, silently and unknowingly reproduced and solidified contemporary heteronormative structures and desires. How have queer issues, queer curators, and queer exhibitions at one and the same time both shaken the foundations of traditional curatorial practice, and found their potential for intervention papered over or silenced? How can queer desires continue to force the museum to evolve? What does queer change in the museum look like? This issue is an attempt to foster a dialogue about queer curating in a transnational frame. Edited by Jonathan Katz, Isabel Hufschmidt, Änne Söll Contributions by Birgit Bosold, Brian Curtin, Julia Friedrich, Vera Hofmann, Simon Martin, Fiona McGovern, Maura Reilly, Patrik Steorn, Ladislav Zikmund-Lender Proofreading by Jared Auton
