Summary:
Exhibition Experiments is a an anthology which considers experiments with museological form that challenge our understanding and experience of museums and exhibitions. Exploring examples from around the world, this publication investigates a range of topical issues which chart the frontier of museum studies. These include: the popularity and proliferation of museum experimentation, novel exhibitionary forms and their implications for knowledge and identity, transformations of architecture and design, narrative and navigation, juxtapositions of art with science and ethnography, the fate of conventional notions of "object" and "representation," and the disorientating yet stimulating consequences of all this for museum-going. This collection brings together a mix of art historians, anthropologists, curators, and sociologists to question traditional disciplinary boundaries. Contributors tackle a range of examples of experimentalism from many different countries and exhibition spaces, and combine them with cutting-edge museum theory.

Summary:
Once considered a mere caretaker for collections, the curator is now widely viewed as a globally connected auteur. Over the last twenty-five years, as international group exhibitions and biennials have become the dominant mode of presenting contemporary art to the public, curatorship has begun to be perceived as a constellation of creative activities not unlike artistic praxis. The curator has gone from being a behind-the-scenes organizer and selector to a visible, centrally important cultural producer. In The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s), Paul O’Neill examines the emergence of independent curatorship and the discourse that helped to establish it. O’Neill describes how, by the 1980s, curated group exhibitions - large-scale, temporary projects with artworks cast as illustrative fragments - came to be understood as the creative work of curator-auteurs. The proliferation of new biennials and other large international exhibitions in the 1990s created a cohort of high-profile, globally mobile curators, moving from Venice to Paris to Kassel. In the 1990s, curatorial and artistic practice converged, blurring the distinction between artist and curator. O’Neill argues that this change in the understanding of curatorship was shaped by a curator-centered discourse that effectively advocated - and authorized - the new independent curatorial practice. Drawing on the extensive curatorial literature and his own interviews with leading curators, critics, art historians, and artists, O’Neill traces the development of the curator-as-artist model and the ways it has been contested. The Culture of Curating and the Curating of Culture(s) documents the many ways in which our perception of art has been transformed by curating and the discourses surrounding it.

Summary:
''Comradeship'' collects 16 essays by the forward-thinking Slovenian curator, museum director and scholar Zdenka Badovinac (born 1958). Appointed director of Ljubljana's Museum of Modern Art in 1993 in the wake of Slovenian independence, Badovinac has become an influential voice in international conversations rethinking the geopolitics of art after the fall of communism. She is a ferocious critic of unequal negotiations between East and West and a leading historian of the avant-garde art that emerged in socialist and post-socialist countries at the end of the last century. One of the longest-serving and most prominent museum directors in the region, Badovinac has pioneered radical institutional forms to create a museum responsive to the complexities of the past, and commensurate with the demands of the present.

In a world of dwindling natural resources, exhausted social and political systems, and an overload of information there are many urgent reasons to reimagine the design discipline, and there is a growing need to look at design education. Learning and unlearning should become part of an ongoing educational practice. We need new proposals for how to organize society, how to structure our governments, how to live with, not against, the planet, how to sift fact from fiction, how to relate to each other, and frankly, how to simply survive.

Summary:
Depuis 40 ans, la France connaît un boom des musées et des expositions blockbusters qui va de pair avec un accroissement continu de la fréquentation des publics. Les défis et les enjeux sont grands pour les musées aujourd'hui, dans un contexte où les logiques marchandes sont toujours plus poussées. Or, les musées restent avant tout des lieux de diffusion de la connaissance qui réinventent continuellement leurs formes et leurs supports de médiation. Multimédias, cartels, audioguides ou fascicules d'aide à la visite peuplent l'espace muséal et façonnent le discours muséographique, qui n'est au fond que l'expression d'un point de vue sur une question (d'art, de société, scientifique) et une manière d'accompagner les visiteurs dans leur exploration des collections. « Les musées sont-ils condamnés à séduire ? Et autres écrits muséologiques » est un recueil de textes de Daniel Jacobi faisant l'inventaire de 40 ans de recherche.
