A lot has changed in museological and curatorial circles over the last decade – good changes that have raised questions about the traditional notions of authority and inclusion, gender equality and the ethical responsibility of collections.
With that welcome shift has emerged a growing trend – what ArtsHub is calling the “add-on” or “Added+” exhibition (also referred to as a parallel exhibition) – which is a curated exhibition that sits alongside a major show to offer an alternative view, or greater context.
