Curating Fascism PAPERBACK 9781350229457
Hecker, Sharon & Bedarida, Raffaele
Explore how exhibitions have shaped collective memory and political discourse around Italian fascism since the fall of Mussolini. "Curating Fascism" delves into the evolution of fascist exhibitions globally, uncovering blindspots in art history and curatorial practices. This comprehensive study features contributions from international art, architectural, design, and cultural historians, journalists, and curators. It examines fascism as both a historical moment and a defining paradigm for understanding the present. Key aspects explored include: * Curatorial strategies and the political responsibility of exhibitions on the Fascist period. * The specificity of art shows, including architecture, design, and institutional history. * Cultural diplomacy, political history, and theories of viewership. * The construction of collective memory and the physical/cultural legacy of fascism. Offering fresh perspectives on historiography and the understanding of fascist art and culture, this book provides a complex exhibition history of Italian fascism not only within Italy but also in countries like the USA, UK, Germany, and Brazil. It innovatively contributes to exhibition theory by dialogue between curators, historians, and scholars of Italian studies and art history.
