Raising Frankenstein presents compelling new writing that explores the education and formation of curators. This book offers an overview of recent thinking on curatorial pedagogy, designed to elucidate, define and build on current debates surrounding this subject. The questions posed here are timely and provocative. The five essays provide a set of cogent inquiries and analyses for all those who concern themselves today with the presentation and theorization of contemporary art. At its heart lies the single question, "Where does the curatorial profession reside?" Raising Frankenstein is developed from the conference Trade Secrets: Education / Collection / History, organised by the Banff International Curatorial Institute in collaboration with Teresa Gleadowe, and held at The Banff Centre, November 12 - 14, 2008.
