I quite like this book, as it did open my eyes to the fact that the curating world is a fairly multi-layered world, and it goes way beyond just hanging pictures on a wall.

What I like is the rather simple manner in which he writes, and this kept me somewhat engaged throughout. There is a lot of name-dropping, and this does spoil the book somewhat.

Also, when he uses terms like 'the greatest artist' etc, I cannot help but think that he, like many Western writers, cannot see beyond the Western / Northern Quarter of the world. Latin America, Asia, Australia are beyond their vision.

I would have liked some photographs. This would have helped to illustrate the points he was wanting to make.

Apart from these, for me, a good book. ( )

I read this at the exact right time. Walser, Oulipo, Artists Books . . . and how to bring art and literature/art and science together. ( )
