Seven Wonders of the World charts an improbable network of correspondents drawn from diverse professional, social and geographical backgrounds, considering the slippery relationship between the monumental and the everyday and addressing how the ongoing processes of selection, nomination and historicisation can determine status, value and meaning.

The sixty-six contributors were proposed by a group of curators, gallerists, artists and writers.


本書は、様々な社会的／地域的な背景をもった専門家たちが、それぞれの立場で考える「世界の七不思議」を上げている。それは日常的なものから大きなテーマのものまで、各関係者たちの扱っている時事をテーマにしたものからそうでないものまで様々。キュレーターやギャラリスト、アーティストや作家など66人の人物がこのプロジェクトに参加している。
