In recent years, the museum and gallery have increasingly become self-reflexive spaces, in which the relationship between art, its display, its creators, and its audience is subverted and democratized. One effect of this has been a growing place for artists as curators, and in The Artist as Curator Celina Jeffery brings together a group of scholars and artists to explore(...)

Summary:
Curators of architecture exhibitions are often concerned with the problem of how to present objects that ultimately cannot be brought into the exhibition space. Such shows are often difficult for lay audiences to interpret little focus is placed on communication. However, there are also architecture exhibits that concentrate on communicating an experience, making it possible to build an intense relationship between the audience and the content on display. The result of a research project organized in 2013 by the faculty of Design and Art of the Free University of Bozen Bolzano, Displayed Spaces focuses on the question of how spaces might communicate architectural ideas in a redevelopment project and its accompanying exhibition proposed for the city of Bolzano, Italy.

Summary:
Good exhibition design involves more than the presentation of art, objects and ideas, and also more than the mere transmission of information: A successful and compelling concept must tell a story and contribute to a deeper understanding. It must not only allow but initiate and inspire communication and interaction between the exhibit and the observer. The interdisciplinary fusion of architecture, design, digital media, and scenography enables almost unlimited creativity. The permanent and temporary projects presented in this volume include museums, art exhibitions, and installations as well as the presentation of products at fair booths and showrooms. All concepts behind the projects are distinguished by creative design ideas and their elaboration.

Summary:
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences; architects constantly redesign them; and the ever-swellling ranks of artists are producing a greater quantity of art than ever before. Meanwhile, museum funds are dwindling amid economic crisis and an overheated art market. The question of which art is to be collected has also become a more openly discussed topic. How do curators meet these challenges? How do artists view their relationships to museum? How do practitioners navigate between ideas, ideals and realities? This publication gathers interviews with artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world, such as John Baldessari, Ute Meta Bauer, Suzanne Cotter, Bice Curiger, Chris Dercon, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Michael Govan, Jacques Herzog, Thomas Hirschhorn, Philipp Kaiser, Rem Koolhaas, Lars Nittve, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Thierry Raspail, Tobias Rehberger and Beatrix Ruf, among others.

L'objet de l'exposition : l'architecture exposée est le premier ouvrage collectif sur l'exposition d'architecture publié en langue française. Il fait suite à un programme de rencontres mené conjointement par l'Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Art de Bourges et le département d'histoire de l'art de l'Université François-Rabelais (Tours), en partenariat avec le Frac Centre, entre 2012 et 2014. En rassemblant des contributions de chercheurs, d'architectes et de commissaires d'exposition, cet ouvrage propose une lecture ouverte de l'exposition d'architecture. Arpentant un territoire qui s'étend du musée à la ville, en passant par l'installation, la photographie et le cinéma, il explore les différentes problématiques qui caractérisent ce domaine encore largement méconnu, sur une chronologie qui s'étend du tout début du XXe siècle à nos jours.

Summary:
In recent years, the intersection between ecological thought and contemporary art has sparked a generative reflection encompassing sustainability, conservation, and survivability. Confronted with the climate catastrophe, ecology questions the feasibility of conserving collapsing ecosystems as well as our imperative of survival, alongside other humans, and non-humans, amidst the ruins of a world we have already irreversibly altered. In November 2023, the second edition of the Museo Ventuno conference, Museums at the Ecological Turn, curated for AMACI by Caterina Riva together with NERO, brought together voices and perspectives from inside and outside of the art institutions to intercept and amplify the debate around these issues. Reflecting on the role of museums and how they must embrace new forms of responsibility and awareness, this book gathers contributions from curators, philosophers and activists, artists and writers.

Summary:
"Museum frictions" is the third volume in a series on culture, society, and museums. "Museum frictions" is an illustrated examination of the significant and varied effects of the increasingly globalized world on contemporary museum, heritage, and exhibition practice. The contributors — scholars, artists, and curators —present case studies drawn from Africa, Australia, North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Together they offer a multifaceted analysis of the complex roles that national and community museums, museums of art and history, monuments, heritage sites, and theme parks play in creating public cultures. Whether contrasting the transformation of Africa’s oldest museum, the South Africa Museum, with one of its newest, the Lwandle Migrant Labor Museum; offering an interpretation of the audio guide at the Guggenheim Bilbao; reflecting on the relative paucity of art museums in Peru and Cambodia; considering representations of slavery in the United States and Ghana; or meditating on the ramifications of an exhibition of Australian aboriginal art at the Asia Society in New York City, the contributors highlight the frictions, contradictions, and collaborations emerging in museums and heritage sites around the world. The volume opens with an extensive introductory essay by Ivan Karp and Corinne A. Kratz, leading scholars in museum and heritage studies.
