Abstract

"In spite of the heightened interest in the curatorial since the late twentieth century, the structural conditions and potentials underpinning its special sociocultural status have yet to be defined. Taking this as a starting point, in this book Beatrice von Bismarck outlines the curatorial—that field of cultural activity and knowledge which relates to the becoming-public of art and culture—as a domain of practice and meaning with its own structures, conditions, rules, and procedures.Von Bismarck focuses on the relations created by the curatorial—relations that also constitute it. By concentrating on the dynamic fabric of relations between human and nonhuman participants, she carries out a shift within the discourse on the curatorial: rather than foregrounding partial definitions of the activity of curating, the subjectivization of the curator, and the presentation format of the exhibition, she emphasizes the interplay of all these factors. She proposes a conceptual framework geared toward highlighting the activity, the subject position, and the resulting product as always already dynamically interrelated in its genesis, articulation, and function. Not least, this situates the curatorial condition in the context of key parameters of societal developments over the last half century." -- Websteite Verlag

Abstract

"Curating Lively Objects explores the role of things as catalysts in imagining futures beyond disciplines for museums and exhibitions. Authors describe how their curatorial collaborations with diverse objects, from rocks to robots, generate new ways of organising and sharing knowledge. Bringing together leading artists and curators from Australia and Canada, this volume addresses object liveliness from a range of entwined perspectives, including new materialism, decolonial thinking, Indigenous epistemologies, environmentalism, feminist critique and digital aesthetics. Foregrounding practice-based curatorial scholarship the book focuses on rigorous reflexive accounts of how curating is done. It contributes to global topics in curatorial research including time and memory beyond and before disciplinarity; the relationship between human and non-human across different ontologies; and the interaction between Indigenous knowledge and disciplinary expertise in interpreting museum collections. Curating Lively Objects will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of curatorial studies, museum studies, cultural heritage, art history, Indigenous studies, material culture and anthropology. It also provides a vital resource for professionals working in museums and galleries around the world who are seeking to respond creatively, ethically, and inclusively to the challenge of changing disciplinary boundaries"--

Abstract

"This Element addresses the cultural production of ancient Egypt in the museum as a mixture of multiple pasts and presents that cohere around collections; their artefacts, documentation, storage, research, and display. Its four sections examine how ideas about the past are formed by museum assemblages: how their histories of acquisition and documentation shape interpretation, the range of materials that comprise them, the influence of their geographical framing, and the moments of remaking that might be possible. Throughout, the importance of critical approaches to interpretation is underscored, reasserting the museum as a site of active research and experiment, rather than only exhibitionary product or communicative media. It argues for a multi-directional approach to museum work that seeks to reveal the inter-relations of collection histories and which has implications not just for museum representation and documentation, but also for archaeological practice more broadly"--

Abstract

Les contraintes de l'impératif évènementiel sont inévitables. Elles se reflètent sur la production culturelle contemporaine et sur les musées. Mais qu'est-ce qu'un évènement en muséologie?? Lorsque l'évènementiel entre dans les musées d'art, comment cela influence-t-il les collections, la mise en récit de l'art qui se déploie jusque dans la présentation et la conception patrimoniale des oeuvres?? Le retour aux collections auquel nous assistons depuis quelques décennies donne lieu à de nouvelles pratiques muséales et curatoriales et confirme l'avènement d'un temps convulsif évènementiel qui vient ébranler le cours tranquille et le temps figé du récit canonique des collections dites «?permanentes?».Réinventer la collection?: l'art et le musée au temps de l'évènementiel est composé de cinq parties qui invitent à un déplacement de sens et d'idées autour des collections faisant écho aux formules dynamiques, interrogatives et inclusives que tendent à adopter les musées. Les recherches qui y sont publiées ont, pour la grande majorité, été menées dans le cadre des activités du Groupe de recherche et de réflexion CIÉCO, fondé en 2014. Les différents chapitres interrogent l'impact de l'évènementiel sur les collections ou analysent des stratégies muséales qui cherchent à valoriser les collections par les ressorts évènementiels. Cet ouvrage, qui vient combler une importante lacune dans l'étude sur les collections, s'adresse à quiconque s'intéresse au patrimoine, aux musées, aux expositions, aux oeuvres d'art que ce soit dans la perspective de l'histoire de l'art, de la muséologie, des arts visuels, de l'architecture, de l'ethnographie ou de la sociologie.

Abstract

Mummified explores the curious, unsettling and controversial cases of mummies held in French and British museums. From powdered mummies eaten as medicine to mummies unrolled in public, dissected for race studies and DNA-tested in modern laboratories, there is a lot more to these ancient remains than first meets the eye. This book takes you on a journey from Paris to London, Leicester and Manchester, from the apothecaries of the Middle Ages to the dissecting tables of the eighteenth century, and finally behind the screen of today's computers, to revisit the stories of these bodies that have fascinated Europeans for so long.Mummified investigates matters of life and death, of collecting and viewing, and of interactions - sometimes violent and sometimes emotional - that question the essence of what makes us human. -- site de l'éditeur.
