In Curating at the Edge, Kate Bonansinga brings to life her experiences as the Rubin?s founding director, giving voice to a curatorial approach that reaches far beyond the limited scope of ?border art? or Chicano art. Instead, Bonansinga captures the creative climate of 2004?2011, when contemporary art addressed broad notions of destruction and transformation, irony and subversion, gender and identity, and the impact of location on politics. The Rubin?s location in the Chihuahuan desert on the U.S./Mexican border is meaningful and intriguing to many artists, and, consequently, Curating at the Edge describes the multiple artistic perspectives conveyed in the place-based exhibitions Bonansinga oversaw. Exciting mid-career artists featured in this collection of case studies include Margarita Cabrera, Liz Cohen, Marcos Ramírez ERRE, and many others. Recalling her experiences in vivid, first-person scenes, Bonansinga reveals the processes a contemporary art curator undertakes and the challenges she faces by describing a few of the more than sixty exhibitions that she organized during her tenure at the Rubin. She also explores the artists? working methods and the relationship between their work and their personal and professional histories (some are Mexican citizens, some are U.S. citizens of Mexican descent, and some have ancestral ties to Europe). Timely and illuminating, Curating at the Edge sheds light on the work of the interlocutors who connect artists and their audiences. 410 0$aWilliam and Bettye Nowlin Series in Art, History, and Culture of the Western Hemisphere 606 $aArtists and museums$zMexican-American Border Region 606 $aArt museum curators$zMexican-American Border Region 606 $aArt museums and community$zMexican-American Border Region 606 $aArt and society$zMexican-American Border Region$xHistory$y21st century 615 0$aArtists and museums 615 0$aArt museum curators 615 0$aArt museums and community 615 0$aArt and society$xHistory 676 $a707.5 700 $aBonansinga$b Kate$01694019 701 $aLippard$b Lucy R$0216956 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810111203321 996 $aCurating at the edge$94072246 997 $aUNINA
