On the Question of Exhibition, PARSE Journal Issue 13: Parts 1,2,3

• This issue of PARSE, published in three parts, examines the question of the exhibition. One of the aims of this series-issue is to turn attention to the material, experiential, as well as conceptual and political conditions of the exhibition that may have been overlooked within the growing literature on curatorial and exhibition histories. Our aim, as editors is not to elevate the exhibition form. Rather, we wish to interrogate exhibition as a pervasive category of display and mediation where principles of exposition, demonstration, exemplification, taxonomy, circulation, commentary, spectatorship and valorization are operative. Since the 1990’s curatorial discourse has sought to position the curatorial away from, or at the very least as in excess of, the practical tasks of exhibition-making whilst the burgeoning field of exhibition histories has created a historiographic approach to the forms, developments and questions posed by exhibition. This series of contributions seeks, in some respects to return to the fundamental question of exhibition-to interrogate it as a self-explanatory category. Part 1 published in June 2021 includes contributions from Dave Beech, Kathrin Böhm, Alaina Claire Feldman, Samia Henni, Steven Henry Madoff, Saul Marcadent, Lisa Rosendahl and Jéssica Varrichio; and roundtables with Rasha Salti, Nick Aikens, Kristine Khouri and Anthony Gardner; and with Yolande Zola Zoli van der Heide, Gavin Wade, Mick Wilson and Franciska Zólyom. The contributions in Part 2 extend the considerations initiated in Part 1, by bridging the world-making and ordering techniques of exhibition–what we might broadly call its onto-epistemological register-with the pragmatic and technical questions of exhibitionary apparatuses, or its operational register. The purpose being not to create a dichotomy but rather to set up a field of tension and interference between different moments of production-analysis. This part offers detailed analyses of individual exhibitions, allowing for an interplay between the specificities of singular instances coupled with a wider angle from which to survey the field. Part 2 contains contributions from Ingrid Cogne Patrizia Costantin, Kris Dittel & Jelena Novak, Catalina Imizcoz, Joey Orr, Barbara Neves Alves, Mateusz Sapija, Vladislav Shapovalov, Sasha Shestakova, and Joshua Simon. The restless questioning of exhibition underpins Part 3, where artists curators and researchers unpick exhibition’s entangled relationship to pedagogy, to institutional processes, to aesthetics, to constituent work, to lived experience and the ways in which the political arises out of these entanglements. Part 3 includes texts by Doreen Mende, David Morris and Grace Samboh, Ola Hassanain, Li Yizhuo, Ginevra Ludovici, Cătălin Gheorghe, Sabine Dahl Nielsen, a visual essay by Paul O’Neill and a roundtable with Jeanne van Heeswijk, Maria Hlavajova, Damon Reaves & Mick Wilson
