The first anthology of feminist art exhibition essays and museum publications, providing an exciting and valuable overview of recent developments in feminist curation

Feminisms-Museums-Surveys: Exhibition Curating 2005-2022 brings together works from exhibition catalogs and museum publications to provide a comprehensive and timely view of the modern approach to feminist curating. Offering insights into how curators from around the world engage with different feminisms and select and exhibit feminist art, this one-of-a-kind anthology exemplifies the diversity of feminist thinking and curatorial approaches in the contemporary art museum.

This important volume comprises articles and essays drawn from publications which accompanied major curatorial projects from different regions around the globe, and each essay offers a unique critical interpretation of feminist art. Organized chronologically, the book presents the essays — the majority in print for the first time since their initial publications and some for the first time in English — with the dates and venues of the exhibition and a brief introduction by the editors. All the artists in the exhibitions and the curators involved are indexed in the supplementary material. Making key examples of feminist curating easily accessible to a wider audience of scholars and students, this unique anthology: - Offers a transnational perspective on feminist curating, featuring exhibitions from across Europe, Asia, Australia, Africa and the Americas

- Highlights the diverse ways in which curators have attempted to bring feminist theory into the museum exhibition format
- Illustrates how feminist ideas have evolved in diverse ways in the international community of museum professionals
- Includes an index of artists and curators whose work is represented in the volume

Offering deep insights into how curators have approached the documentation and representation of art informed by feminist politics and thinking, Feminisms-Museums-Surveys: Exhibition Curating 2005-2022 is an ideal resource for courses in feminism and art, curation, LGBTQ art, art and politics, museum studies, art history, cultural studies, feminist and gender studies, and related courses across fine arts and visual arts programs.
