Curating beyond the visual

Bringing curatorial theory into conversation with museum research, disability activism and crip theory, this collection examines how exhibitions can engage senses beyond sight. Its examples range from experimental exhibitions to artistic practices associated with them, including approaches involving touch, smell, taste and hearing, as well as multimodal technologies. The essays connect these practices with questions of disability, neurodivergence and crip art activism, treating sensory experience as part of how art is encountered and curated. The result is a focused contribution to discussions of museum practice and the possibilities of sensory-diverse bodies.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in museum studies and contemporary curatorial practice.
  • Those exploring multisensory art, disability activism, neurodivergence or crip theory.
  • Artists and curators considering nonvisual and multimodal exhibition approaches.

Book overview

A groundbreaking study of the practices and implications of multisensory art and curation

Published with PLURAL Series.

Artists and curators have long moved beyond the primacy of the visual in art exhibitions, venturing into other senses. This book traces this shift, gathering curatorial theory, museum research, disability activism and crip theory to demonstrate resonances between curatorial theory and practice and between disability, neurodivergence and crip art activism. Exhibiting for Multiple Senses shares famous and lesser-known examples of experimental exhibitions as well as artistic practices linked to exhibitions. By mobilizing the senses of touch, smell, taste and hearing, as well as applications of multimodal technologies and insights from neuroscience, these examples explore abilities and possibilities of the sensory apparatus that is the human body.
Contributors include: David Bobier, Luca M. Damiani, Stephanie Farmer, David Gissen, Adi Hollander, Hettie James, Georgina Kleege, Lilian Korner, Elke Krasny, Renata Pekowska, Caro Verbeek.
