What Curators Know: Art and Science in the Museum
Editat de Hannah Star Rogersen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 aug 2026
Nowhere are these challenges more visible than in art-science exhibitions. This volume explores how curators draw on Science and Technology Studies (STS) to synthesize subjects ranging from health complexity to nuclear energy, from communication technologies and computing histories to meat and eternal life. In doing so, they reveal the dynamic role of curatorship in shaping how we think, feel, and know.

Recenzii
Hannah Star Rogers is the most important voice in theorising Art, Science and Technology Studies today, and in this volume, she has brought together a range of voices that explore the complex relationships between curators, artists, and scientists and their collective claims to knowledge on the exhibition floor.
What Curators Know is on the forefront of mapping out how curatorial work can be understood as an intrinsic method within Science and Technology Studies... You'll be all the wiser for reading these reports from a diverse range of international curator/theorists whose work addresses everything from nuclear culture to GM to AI.
The cultural and intellectual role of curation is rising exponentially: we curate everything these days. But what knowledge is created? And what know-how do curators apply? At the forefront of interdisciplinary curation, Rogers' important volume establishes a landmark that raises, and begins answering, these fascinating questions.
