The incurable-image : curating post-Mexican film and media arts / Tarek Elhaik.
From the 1990s onwards the 'ethgraphic turn in contemporary art' has generated intense dialogues between anthropologists, artists and curators. While ethgraphy has been both generously and problematically re-appropriated by the art world, curation has seldom caught the conceptual attention...

| 520 | |a From the 1990s onwards the 'ethgraphic turn in contemporary art' has generated intense dialogues between anthropologists, artists and curators. While ethgraphy has been both generously and problematically re-appropriated by the art world, curation has seldom caught the conceptual attention of anthropologists. Based on two years of participant-observation in Mexico City, Tarek Elhaik addresses this lacuna by examining the concept-work of curatorial platforms and media artists. Taking his cue from ongoing critiques of Mexicanist aesthetics, and what Roger Bartra calls 'the post-Mexican condition', Elhaik conceptualises curation less as an exhibition-oriented practice within a national culture, than as a figure of care and an image of thought animating a complex assemblage of inter-medial practices, from experimental cinema and installations to curatorial collaborations. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze and Paul Rabiw, the book introduces the concept of the 'Incurable-Image', an antidote to our curatorial malaise and the ethical substance for a post-social anthropology of images. | ||
