Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
The first curatorial studies volume to engage with the concept of ‘the future’.
MoreLong description:
In a so-called post-neoliberal world, it can seem like culture is stuck in a perpetual presentism where history and the future are but mere data points for speculative calculations of gains, and culture seems all but a string of endlessly repeating commodities. In such an environment, can we rescue the future for art, for curating and the curatorial, and for culture more generally? Do we need to? What function do concepts like the future and futurity play in the field of curating and the curatorial? What use is ‘the future’ to curators and others working within the field of the curatorial? The Edinburgh Companion to Curatorial Futures is the first curatorial studies volume to engage with the increasingly ubiquitous concept of ‘the future’ and its exponential growth in the fields of artistic research, curating, art and academia. What is it we need to know as we think towards the future?
