Politics in a Glass Case

Bringing together an impressive lineup of contributors from across Europe, the United Kingdom, and the United States, Politics in a Glass Case examines how sexual politics play out in art exhibitions. Beginning with the feminist critique of the art exhibition in the 1970s and concluding with reflections on curatorial work and globalization after 2000, the contributors here explore a host of topics—including relational aesthetics, global exhibition, and feminism and technology in the museum—and review a variety of major exhibitions to address the intersection between gender struggle and the free market art economy. All along the way they build toward an alternative narrative of feminism’s impact on art.
