"Ways of Curating is a unique and insightful guide which enables the reader to discover unexplored paths for a new curatorial approach." --Marina Abramovic
"Hans Ulrich Obrist is a passionate communicator. In result, half the world is starting to live in the future now." --
Yoko Ono "Obrist educates and delights, with the simple goal of sharing his life's joy." --
Publishers Weekly "A succinct, personal perspective on the intellectual sources and enthusiams of a distinguished figure in the contemporary art world." --
Kirkus "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." --
Ekow Eshun, The Independent "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." --Carl Wilkinson,
Financial Times "Brisk, eclectic . . . In recent decades, the art world has been somewhat tediously obsessed with this 'curatorial turn' and its apparent undermining of artists and critics alike. But Obrist is a good example of the expanded possibilities of the job, and the sheer energy he has brought to working with artists themselves is the abiding impression of
Ways of Curating." --Brian Dillon,
