If we ask where the curating of art occurs these days--in which places, which kinds of place, and how--apparent answers immediately appear: everywhere, expanding as if to ubiquity.

Résumé:
If we ask where the curating of art occurs these days--in which places, which kinds of place, and how--apparent answers immediately appear: everywhere, expanding as if to ubiquity. Yet at the same time, we sense, with fragile purpose. In this, his newest book, Terry Smith explores the contemporary contexts of curating, looking for less apparent answers. It will map the dimensions of the visual arts exhibitionary complex, including its dialectical dance between institutionalization and deinstitutionalization; the persistence of professional classifications of curatorship; the given and changing categories of art exhibitions; the increasing variety of curatorial styles; the underthinking about publics; and (undistracted by curationism) the changing roles of art making and exhibiting art within an exhibitory iconomy that is at once viral and consumptive. A mapping of this kind might help us towards some answers to the more important questions: why curate art these days and in the name of which interests?

How does material culture become data? Why does this matter, and for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing, classifying, and cataloguing hardened into accepted categories, naming conventions, and tribal affiliations – much of it wrong.

Résumé:
How does material culture become data? Why does this matter, and for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing, classifying, and cataloguing hardened into accepted categories, naming conventions, and tribal affiliations – much of it wrong. 'Cataloguing Culture' examines how colonialism operates in museum bureaucracies. Using the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History as her reference, Hannah Turner organizes her study by the technologies framing museum work over two hundred years: field records, the ledger, the card catalogue, the punch card, and eventually the database. She examines how categories were applied to ethnographic material culture and became routine throughout federal collecting institutions. As Indigenous communities encounter the documentary traces of imperialism while attempting to reclaim what is theirs, this publication shines a light on access to and return of cultural heritage.

Résumé:
Research is of paramount importance as a fundamental basis for everything that museums do. This publication engages with the diverse viewpoints of authors in the vanguard of theoretical discussions and curatorial practices, mapping out the multiplicity of endeavours to reform and transform research in relation to the art museum. From new theoretical models and specific forms of practice-based investigation and knowledge production, to the potential for change by the very dynamics of research, it shows that the concept of the curatorial is constantly shifting.

Résumé:
When architecture is the subject of an exhibition, there is almost always a dilemma: architecture can only be represented through drawings, models, and photographs; the physicality of architecture per se is missing. The abstraction of architecture for exhibition and the absence of architectural experience in architectural exhibition are in fact two sides of the same coin: The problem of the lack of an architectural reality. In this book, Yong He Chang traces the history of architectural intervention in exhibitions and answers the above questions through more than forty exhibition designs made by Chang and Atelier FCJZ.

Résumé:
Ce livre est un entretien entre Alejandro Jodorowsky et Philippe de Montebello sur l’expérience vécue de l’art dans le musée.Dans cet échange instructif et passionné entre ces deux fi gures éminentes, l’entretien aborde tout d’abord le rôle du musée, de ses origines à aujourd’hui à travers son histoire, et évoque aussi les enjeux du marché de l’art, ainsi que la question de la place de l’art contemporain dans le musée. Le débat central devient ensuite celui de la question de l’art dans le musée.En quoi consiste l’expérience de l’oeuvre? Et comment peut-on la rendre perceptible dans l’espace du musée? Si pour l’artiste qu’est Alejandro Jodorowsky l’art doit guérir l’humanité, Philippe de Montebello, dans son rôle de conservateur et d’amateur d’art, évoque l’expérience de l’oeuvre comme l’expérience du regard à travers le temps passé à la contempler. Et si la magie du musée consistait en cet optimisme qui y pénètre, et où l’on trouve le dépassement de soi?

Résumé:
The idealized Western museum, as typified by the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Museum of Natural History, has remained much the same for over a century: a rarified space of cool stone, providing an experience of leisure and education for the general public while carefully preserving fragile artifacts from distant lands. As questions about representation and ethics have increasingly arisen, these institutions have proclaimed their interest in diversity and responsible conservation, asserting both their adaptability and their immovably essential role in a flourishing society. With this book, Shimrit Lee punctures this fantasy, tracing the colonial origins of the concept of the museum. White Europeans’ atrocities were reimagined through narratives of benign curiosity and abundant respect for the occupied or annihilated culture, and these racist narratives, Lee argues, remain integral to the authority—and even the aesthetics—of the contemporary museum. This volume argues that we must face a dismantling of these seemingly eternal edifices, and consider what, if anything, might take their place.
