## Description

(Curating) From A to Z offers a summary of the development of curatorial practice over the last two decades, seen through the eyes of curator, author and Deputy Director of the Jewish Museum, Jens Hoffmann (born 1974). In this new publication, each letter of the alphabet evokes a particular word related to the world of exhibition making--from A (as in Art) and B (as in Biennial) to R (as in Retrospective) and W (as in White Cube). Employing a diaristic style, the curator presents his personal curatorial alphabet with a similar transparency and the same idiosyncratic character revealed in many of his exhibitions. The entries are not only stimulating and intellectually rigorous, but also emotionally engaging.

Review: So much info about art and exhibition making in such a compact and well written book. - The most pleasurable thing about the book is the tone in which it is written. All subjects discussed are discussed in a personal almost diarist style that is incredibly engaging does not use jargon and yet it is intellectually highly astute. The tone moves from humorist comments to very serious observations with a wonderful flow. Apart from all the info about mayor curatorial topics such as Art, Biennials, Curating, etc. the tone and style of writing make it such an engaging and educational read. I read the book on a flight from Atlanta to Boston and again on my flight back and enjoyed it tremendously. I cannot wait for the sequel coming out in the spring (Curating) from Z to A.
