ABSTRACT
Fleur Watson has used reflections on her own formidable curatorial practice in architecture to determine what drives the curator of today – the new curator. Always grounded in her own experience, she reveals the ways in which different kinds of curation have developed in the metropolises of Melbourne, London and New York, keeping an eye on Asia, Africa and South America. She begins by challenging the normative belief that architecture cannot be exhibited, as such, but can only be represented. Her book could be titled, with a nod to another famous polemic, Against Representation.
