The Exhibitionist, a new journal made by curators, for curators,
focusing solely on the practice of exhibition making. The objective is
to create a wider platform for the discussion of curatorial concerns -
encourage a diversification of curatorial models, and actively
contribute to the formation of a theory of curating. It is published
by ARCHIVE BOOKS and will be distributed internationally, selling at
major and specialty bookstores and newsstands. 

The Exhibitionist will be published twice a year and will follow a
strict editorial structure. In each issue, the Curators' Favorites
section will present three texts in which three curators write a
personal essay about an exhibition, contemporary or historic, that has
particularly impacted their thinking, followed by Back in the Day - an
in-depth look at a historically important exhibition. In Assessments,
the core of the journal, four curators will review a significant
contemporary exhibition, each from his or her individual point of
view. Typologies debates specific exhibition formats. Attitude
features a text by a member of the editorial board reflecting on the
current state of exhibition making. In Rear Mirror, two curators
reflect upon exhibitions they have recently curated. And, finally,
Endnote, a brief remark on a notable aspect of curatorial practice.
Every fourth issue will include a conversation between some of the
contributors about past issues; in this way the journal offers a forum
for self-reflexivity.

The launch of the first issue of The Exhibitionist will be celebrated
on February 11 at ARCHIVE KABINETT in Berlin. Several of the
contributors and members of the editorial board will be present; they
will engage in a public conversation about the current state of
exhibition making and the new wave of publications on the subject of
curating. The speakers will include Jens Hoffmann, Chus Martínez,
Tara McDowell and Adriano Pedrosa.
