Finding a link between Mary Shelley's composite monster and the creative principle of an exhibition, where often a very large and diverse corpus of works multiplies occurrences, which combine, respond to each other and generate a reflection capable of broadening perspectives and critical commentaries. The themes chosen are often topical or even intuitive, which attests to her singularity as a curator.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"citation\"\u003eThrough an analysis of four historic and emblematic exhibitions—the \u003cem\u003eFirst International Dada Fair,\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eInternational Surrealist Exhibition\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eFirst Papers of Surrealism\u003c\/em\u003e and the Surrealist gallery at Peggy Guggenheim's gallery Art of This Century– produced between 1920 and 1942, Cristina Ricupero revisits some of her projects and highlights her favorite themes: secret societies (\u003cem\u003eSecret Societies\u003c\/em\u003e, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt and CAPC Bordeaux, 2011–2012), the links between art and crime (\u003cem\u003eThe Crime Was Almost Perfect,\u003c\/em\u003e Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art, Rotterdam et PAC-Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea, Milan, 2014) the world of espionage (\u003cem\u003eWe Never Sleep\u003c\/em\u003e, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, 2020–2021) and \u003cem\u003eenthusiastic awkwardness\u003c\/em\u003e in art in the exhibition \u003cem\u003eRidiculously Yours? !

Not to mention that this recurring underlying idea of monstrosity enables her to envisage the exhibition as a body in mutation, where each element organically participates in the construction of a coherent whole, which Cristina Ricupero sees above all as a space for critical questioning of art and society.\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"bruno","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55070552129869,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0164\/7630\/7520\/files\/261015_Shopify4_b66fde26-5cc1-4d93-8c69-95c24df8ccda.jpg?v=1792077402","url":"https:\/\/shop.b-r-u-n-o.it\/products\/curating-monsters-cristina-ricupero","provider":"bruno","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
