I wrote blurb for a book forthcoming from Coach House Books. I thought I would share it with you. David Balzer’s Curationism is an unusual art book. It is a book you should read and one that you can. Balzar traces and history and current hegemony of Curationism---a practice of jumped up interior decorators who double as priests explaining the gospel to the unlettered masses. These curates have established for themselves a position that over-rides all other arbiters of taste and value in the art world. Collectors, dealers, institutions, connoisseurs, and critics all bow to their wisdom. This leaves them free to demolish theory as written and meddle in the marketplace big time. So, Creationism is a good read, if you don’t mind reading things that you don’t want to know.
