Description: The Edge of Everything is a surprising collection of the personal, political, humorous, and quirky writings of contemporary curators. An impressive selection of Canadian and international curators reflect on their practice, their training, their upbringing in art institutions and outside them. The curator surfaces from this book as a figure who dwells both in the institutions of the art world and its fissures, its edges and gaps - as contributor Matthew Higgs writes, "between the audience and the stage, between the spectacle and its reception."
