Résumé:
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.

Résumé:
Les musées d’art privés sont un phénomène culturel, social et économique de notre siècle. Depuis une vingtaine d’années, ils prolifèrent dans le monde entier, et sont plus de 400 aujourd’hui. La journaliste Georgina Adam, spécialiste du marché de l’art, dresse un état des lieux de la situation d’après ses récentes visites aux États-Unis, en Europe, en Chine et ailleurs, qui est bien plus complexe et nuancé qu’il n’y paraît. Elle explore les raisons de ce boom, les différentes motivations des collectionneurs et les divers modes de financement des institutions. Les musées privés peuvent apporter une contribution importante à la vie culturelle, mais leur relation avec les institutions publiques peut également s’avérer problématique. Les musées privés doivent-ils intervenir pour combler le vide laissé par le déclin des investissements publics dans la culture ? Quelles sont les implications pour la société et les arts ? À l’heure où le secteur des musées est en crise, ce livre se révèle incontournable et incite à la réflexion.

Résumé:
As the world adapts to the consequences of a global pandemic, museums continue to experience unprecedented disruption and change. At the same time, there is a growing debate and dissent over what museums are for, who they speak to, and what the histories, objects, and ideas they are tasked with holding reflect—all taking place within a public sphere that feels increasingly dynamic and volatile. Taking a wide-ranging and thought-provoking look at the roles and responsibilities of some of our most well-known and best-loved public institutions, ''Gathering of Strangers'' explores the critical challenges and opportunities for the museum at this point in the twenty-first century. Moving from the historical origins of the gallery to important current debates taking place around art and public engagement, the climate emergency, race equality and decolonization, and the value of the arts in education—this book sets out the role of art and artists in imagining and shaping our collective future. It is also a love letter to the museum, from a sector leader who is at the forefront of the cultural conversation today.

Résumé:
Grounded in empirical research, 'Alternative pedagogical spaces: From utopia to institutionalization' is a critical inquiry into the establishment, development, and transformation of alternative pedagogical and social spaces. Written by Anna Colin, a former director and co-founder of Open School East, an independent art school and community space founded in London in 2013, this essay-length book explores the instituting factors, organizational life cycles, and alignments and misalignments between values and practices that permeate such a project. The essay delves into the qualities and prerequisites for what Colin calls "multi-public educational organizations." It also scrutinizes the hurdles associated with the effort to remain alternative, including processes of habituation, temptation or pressure to scale up, ethos-bending fundraising exercises, and long tenure, as well as the plain desire for stability and sustainability.
