One of the most colourful figures in the artworld today . . . Hans
Ulrich Obrist [is] not so much a curator as a human whirlwind
*Guardian*
An engaging and erudite work that argues persuasively for the
continued relevance of curating for the arts and wider society. His
book is about the curator's role as a maker of exhibitions, a task
that involves tracing hidden connections between artworks and
forging untrammelled routes across culture in search of new ways of
experiencing art; new ways of looking at the world around us. If
that sounds like an impossibly romantic definition it's because
this is an unapologetically personal account of the profession's
development
*Independent*
The sheer energy [Obrist] has brought to working with artists
themselves is the abiding impression of Ways of Curating
*Literary Review*
This is a highly intelligent, thoughtful and thought-provoking
book. Obrist emerges as both scholarly and energetically engaged
with the proliferation of ideas in modern culture today
*Financial Times*
