Review:

Actually a surprisingly brilliant book, interviews by HUO with poneering curators really make you see 
how important a job they do (yes I am not being sarcastic) and how the present state of contemporary 
art arises from some important and radical developments in museums and galleries whose curators 
were trying to make people see art again and unfusty it. I like the intro which quotes Gilbert and 
Georges dictum " to be with art is all we ask." That's the point.
