OUT OF STOCK ON CULTURAL INFLUENCE: Collected Papers from apexart International Conferences 1999-2006 On Cultural Influence offers a unique perspective of international viewpoints of the changing cultural landscape. This collection presents over thirty papers delivered at three apexart international conferences: Wroclaw, Poland (1999), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2001), and Honolulu, Hawaii (2004). The continuing conference series entitled Inside Out: Reassessing International Cultural Influence is intended to promote an open dialogue among notable cultural practitioners, including curators, writers, historians, arts managers, artists, sociologists and others, about various cultural concerns and how they change from each gathering to the next and differ among the participants. The wide range of perspectives and wealth of examples and references to artistic activity around the world offered in the papers of On Cultural Influence will provide a valuable resource for teachers and students of art, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, as well as for all readers interested in diverse views of culture in a changing society. CONTEMPORARY ART 2006, 304 pp., 27 b&w illus. Softcover, ISBN 1-933347-11-2 code: apx infl A-4

OUT OF STOCK CAUTIONARY TALES: Critical Curating Cautionary Tales: Critical Curating is a resource text for students and others interested in the curatorial field. Each of the ten authors provides a unique perspective on the evolution and practice of the curator, drawing from a wide range of disciplines: the authors are critics, curators, museum directors, curatorial program directors, university professors and philosophers, writers and thinkers from Germany, India, Korea, Sweden, New York, Las Vegas, San Francisco, and Cleveland. Drawing from a wealth of exhibitions as examples of successful curating and the changing role of the contemporary curator, the authors present subjects such as balancing artistic vision and expectations of funders or institutions, as well as considering potential ethical dilemmas in dealings with artists and collectors. Some authors touch on the growing numbers of "independent curators" who graduate each year from the many curatorial programs around the world, while others address the difference between working within the institution and being an outside influence—as an interesting commentary on the times, many of the papers speak to the importance of taking risks. CONTEMPORARY ART 2007, 128 pp. Softcover, ISBN 1-933347-10-4 code: apx caut A-4
