Summary:
This publication collects and preserves the ideas put forward during the symposium "A Model: Reimagining Museums," which took place at Mudam – The Contemporary Art Museum of Luxembourg, in June 2024.?The convening explored the mission of museums today and examined how contemporary institutions can continue to serve as sources of culture, preservation, education, and community in the future. The symposium marked the final chapter of a broader program dedicated to examining the museum as a model. The series was introduced by "A Model," a three-part exhibition curated by Bettina Steinbrügge that reflected on the role of the museum in the twenty-first century, reaffirming the need to consider the institutions a dynamic, living place, sensitive and receptive to contemporary debates. It also considered the possibilities that arise when museum collections are reimagined as active and performative environments. More than thirty artists were involved – some conceiving new commissions, others responding to works in Mudam’s collection.

Que se passe-t-il quand l’école sort de ses murs? Et si les visites aux musées pouvaient enseigner autant qu’un cours? À mi-chemin entre salle de classe et lieu de culture, le musée constitue un espace d’apprentissage vivant, où l’on peut explorer, réfléchir et apprendre autrement.

Often dissident, sometimes adherent, this volume resists definition: adaptive, fluid, speculative. Reflecting the ambivalences of contemporary life, it is at once superficial and profound, profane and divine, present everywhere and nowhere, dismissed as futile yet capable of transforming even the most beautiful interiors. The book gathers diverse tools and insights – polysemic and ambiguous, bespoke and improvised, ornamental and critical – spanning media, technology, the arts, and other undefined fields, to examine the impact on contemporary design. With contributions by Philippe Rahm, Line Fontana, Paule Perron, Youri Kravtchenko, Simon Husslein, Camille Bagnoud, more.

Summary:
TURBA is the first journal for the study, theory, and praxis of curatorial strategies in the live arts. The live arts are broadly defined as those arts in which contingent, momentary acts and events, performed by human or other autonomous agents, are crucial to the aesthetic perception and the emergence of meaning in ephemeral time-based work. They include, but are not limited to, dance, music, sound art, theatre, performance art, verbal arts, circus arts, live media arts and inter-arts performance works. With this journal, we aim to create a platform for the exploration of ideas, concepts, constraints, expectations, and contingencies which guide and drive curatorial practices in these fields.

Summary:
Through historical analysis, philosophical inquiry, and contemporary artistic case studies, this book presents models and effects where artists, curators, and cultural operators work from within the very structures they seek to subvert. Drawing inspiration from the Trojan horse metaphor, it examines the efficacy in penetrating and transforming entrenched institutional practices, while exploring the psychological, political and tactical pathways of these interventions. At the heart of the book rest the reflections from those who have navigated this delicate and often risky path, following the imperative of a well-conceived exit strategy to maintain the integrity and impact of critical and cultural intervention.

Summary:
The visual and textual contributions in this volume take shape from a series of questions that place at the center of reflection the role of artistic and design practices in the production of knowledge. What tools can we adopt when words are no longer sufficient to describe what surrounds us? How can we construct new languages and new imaginaries capable of giving form to experience, uncertainty, and the complexity of our present? What does it mean today to produce knowledge through practice, at a historical moment when the boundaries between discipline and action, between theory and project, between art and life are becoming increasingly blurred? How do artists and designers use the tools of their practices to question reality, deconstruct dominant narratives, and propose alternative perspectives? The volume gathers and weaves together the works and writings of more than one hundred artists, designers, scholars, and thinkers who, through different approaches, languages, and sensibilities, explore the possibility of generating knowledge through image, gesture, form, and action. The aim is to shed light on how visual practices can not only represent the world but also have an impact on it, activating processes of situated, critical, and transformative knowledge.

It seeks actionable insights into how artistic work, its mediation and the institutions that support it might be mobilised toward more sustainable and interdependent worlds. Taking flight from perspectives on translation, solidarity and power, ''Curating & Repair'' approaches mediation both as contested terrain and generative possibility. It discusses the importance of challenging normative power relations in artistic collaboration, alongside the difficulties of sustaining creative work against the undertow of multiplying global crises. By aligning the curatorial with the dialogical, it calls attention to the serious, collective work that we as artists, mediators and publics have at our hands

Price:

(available in store)
Summary:
Based on practical experiments, ''Unlearning with Translation'' posits the act of translation as a pedagogical tool, a political act, and ultimately a gesture of care in these tense cultural times. Written by French curator, writer, editor, and self-taught translatress Virginie Bobin, the essay revisits a series of workshops, exhibitions, and other collective activities that took translation as both subject and method to unsettle entrenched conceptions of language, identity, and belonging. In particular, the ambiguous notion of "untranslatability" is used as a lens through which to examine the power relations at play in those institutional, economic, and political contexts inhabited by art workers. Alongside collaborations with artists including Mercedes Azpilicueta, Serena Lee, and Mounira Al Solh, Bobin's reflections are grounded in her experience co-founding and facilitating the editorial and curatorial platform Qalqalah, which relies on translation as a tool for the production and publication of situated knowledge in three languages—French, Arabic, and English. Informed by feminist genealogies and methodologies throughout, the book maintains that collective labor and relations are key aspects of any critical practice, as exemplified in the concluding correspondence with Andrea Ancira.

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 and culturally rich society. With "Decolonize museums," Shimrit Lee punctures this fantasy, tracing the essentially colonial origins of the concept of the museum.

Summary:

Parker argues that museums should retrain the sensory perception of visitors and foster cultural engagement, participation, and empathy. In order to accomplish this, he recommends the construction of what he calls a "new centre," emphasizing both "new" and "news," a small "newseum" which would engender discussion and debate. Parker envisions these centres being constructed adjacent to any existing large prestige museum and containing three exhibits: a current public exhibit, an exhibit in process, and an area for gathering materials for a forthcoming exhibit.
