Title: Curatorial constructs: archives in fine art exhibitions
Abstract: The essay explores the inclusion of archive material within fine art exhibitions, particularly considering differences in approach between displays of contemporary art and those featuring Old Master paintings. Taking the National Gallery's 2012 Turner Inspired exhibition as a primary case study, it looks at how archives are interpreted and displayed alongside traditional works of art. It compares the National Gallery's experience with a number of recent Old Master and nineteenth-century artists' exhibitions to consider whether there is a commonality of approach between different exhibiting institutions. Finally, it compares the different approach to displaying archives within contemporary art exhibitions and explores the rationale for this difference.
