Description: Curators, directors and programmers from UK galleries make public the current debates within institutions on community, art and education.

This title discusses a particular vein of curatorial activity initiated by galleries, much contested, and articulated differently across institutions. It is characterised by activity beyond the site of the gallery, an interest in context and situation and a tendency to problematise notions of community.
