Reviews

This is not only a masterful and wholly original rethinking of curating, it is also one of the most exciting treatises on ethics I have ever read. There are remarkably bracing philosophical insights on nearly every page, and Jean-Paul Martinon writes with such theoretical precision and poetic clarity. Heidegger after Martinon will forever have curating as part of 'building dwelling thinking.' -John Paul Ricco, author of The Decision Between Us: Art and Ethics in the Time of Scenes
