Looking, Encountering, Staging (2005)

Anke Bangma

Looking, Encountering, Staging investigates the ways cultural practices (exhibitions, news reports, documentary photography, artistic and scientific discourses) stage their subjects and thus construct positions for their audiences. The contributors analyse how these positions come to be naturalized as ‘given’, or use strategies of staging, performing and re-theatricalization to rethink the role of the artist or curator as mediator and to relocate the viewer.
