What is the future of curatorship? Is there a vision for an ideal model, a curatopia, whether in the form of a utopia or dystopia? Or is there a plurality of approaches, amounting to a curatorial heterotopia? This pioneering volume addresses these questions by considering the current state of curatorship. It reviews the different models and approaches operating in museums, galleries and cultural organisations around the world and discusses emerging concerns, challenges and opportunities. The collection explores the ways in which the mutual, asymmetrical relations underpinning global, scientific entanglements of the past can be transformed into more reciprocal, symmetrical forms of cross-cultural curatorship in the present, arguing that this is the most effective way for curatorial practice to remain meaningful. International in scope, the volume covers three regions: Europe, North America and the Pacific. -- .

"L'exposition est multiple et protéiforme, omniprésente et multidisciplinaire. Pratique culturelle des plus communes, elle connaît un succès indéniable auprès des publics et évolue en fonction des transformations et mutations des sociétés contemporaines. En quoi l'exposition prend-elle son autonomie tant vis-à-vis du secteur du patrimoine que de ses missions originelles d'éducation ? Pourquoi le concept de médiation culturelle doit-il être clarifié ? Forgeant son discours sur ces questions centrales, Serge Chaumier découvre de nouveaux territoires d'exploration et de développement pour l'avenir. En favorisant l'expérientiel, l'interprétation, l'engagement et la participation, l'exposition accompagne et illustre les formes nouvelles de l'action culturelle.

Résurrections historiques, fictions institutionnalisées : les objets ambigus cités par l'auteure sont tous au service d'un désir de connaissance profonde, sans cesse reprise, sans cesse complétée, grâce à un musée devenu producteur au même titre que conservateur. Cinq oeuvres de Gino Severini, Piet Mondrian, El Lissitzky, Vladimir Tatline et Marcel Duchamp, rendent diversement compte de ce destin."--Page 4 of cover.

A concise history of one of the world's greatest and most comprehensive museum collections, from its founding in 1753. A product and symbol of the 18th-century Enlightenment, the British Museum is as iconic an expression of that cultural tendency as Johnson's Dictionary, the French Encyclopedie and Linnaean plant classification. Its collections embody the raw material of empiricism - the bringing together of things to enable the widest intellectual experiment to take place. James Hamilton explores the establishment of the Museum in the 1750s (from the bequest to the nation of the collections of Sir Hans Sloane); the chosen site of its location; the cultural context in which it came into being; the subsequent development, expansion and diversification of the Museum, both as a collection and as a building, from the early 19th to the 21st century; the controversy occasioned by some of its acquisitions; and the legacy and influence of the Museum nationally and globally.

The Disobedient Museum: Writing at the Edge aims to motivate disciplinary thinking to reimagine writing about museums as an activity where resistant forms of thinking, seeing, feeling, and acting can be produced, and to theorize this process as a form of protest against disciplinary stagnation.Drawing on a range of cultural, theoretical, and political approaches, Kylie Message examines potential links between methods of critique today and moments of historical and disciplinary crisis, and asks what contribution museums might make to these, either as direct actors or through activities that sit more comfortably within their institutional remit. Identifying the process of writing about museums as a form of activism, that brings together and elaborates on cultural and political agendas for change, the book explores how a process of engaged critique might benefit museum studies, what this critique might look like, and how museum studies might make a contribution to discourses of social and political change.The Disobedient Museum is the first volume in Routledge's innovative `Museums in Focus' series and will be of great interest to scholars and students in the fields of Museum, Heritage, Public History, and Cultural Studies. It should also be essential reading for museum practitioners, particularly those engaged with questions about the role of museums in regard to social activism and contentious contemporary challenges.

"Le XXe siècle fut le temps du développement des musées, de leur mise en cause, de leur réinvention et souvent de leur redistribution. Le Mucem incarne une part essentielle de cette évolution, grâce à ses collections issues du musée d'Ethnographie du Trocadéro, du musée de l'Homme et du musée national des Arts et Traditions populaires, héritiers de Georges Henri Rivière (1897-1985). Fasciné par l'objet, au contact des créateurs et des collectionneurs, Rivière consacra son existence aux musées, pour en faire non seulement des lieux de sauvegarde, mais aussi des espaces d'accueil des chercheurs comme des publics. En prenant sa vie comme fil conducteur, "Georges Henri Rivière. Voir, c'est comprendre" dresse le portrait d'une époque: du cabaret parisien du Boeuf sur le toit aux enquêtes ethnologiques dans l'Aubrac, jusqu'à l'invention d'un musée révolutionné, instrument de connaissance évolutif et participatif jusqu'alors sans équivalent."--Page 4 of cover.

How might we document, curate, collect, and exhibit performance? Histories of Performance Documentation traces the many ways in which museums have approached performance works from the 1960s onwards. Considering the unique challenges of documenting live events including hybrid and interactive arts, games, virtual and mixed reality performance, this collection investigates the burgeoning role of the performative in museum displays, and examines a number of interdisciplinary documentation practices which have influenced the field of performance documentation. Gabriella Giannachi and Jonah Westerman bring together interviews and essays by leading curators, conservators, artists and scholars from institutions including MoMA, Tate, SFMOMA and the Whitney. Developing from recent approaches which argue that discussions of performance should not focus purely on the live event, and that documentation should not be read solely as a process of retrospection, these chapters build a radical new framework for thinking about the relationship between performance and its documentation - and how documentation might shape ideas of what constitutes performance in the first place.

Racism is a hot topic in museums today, as well as an urgent social issue. Focused on the broad field of multicultural policy, Museums and Racism examines how the Immigration Museum in Melbourne, Australia, has responded to political culture and public debate around racism. Analysis focuses on the conceptualization of the Immigration Museum in the mid-1990s, and on the most recent permanent exhibition to be opened there, in 2011, which coincided with the publication of a new multicultural policy for Australia. The opening of the National Museum of Australia in Canberra in the intervening period is also examined in some detail, as a comparative case study to provide a sense of the broader national social and political context. Message argues that each of the three episodes demonstrates the close relationship between museum and exhibition development on the one hand, and policy, politics, and public opinion on the other hand. Including a discussion of examples from the United States and other relevant contexts, Museums and Racism is key reading for students and scholars of museum studies and cultural studies around the world. The book should also be of great interest to museum practitioners and policymakers in the area of multiculturalism.
