Summary:
L’écriture du patrimoine français a longtemps hésité entre la glorification des collections nationales et la critique de la perte du contexte des œuvres – aux dépens d’une approche du processus de patrimonialisation, de ses acteurs et de ses pratiques. On fait ici le pari d’une histoire de l’art d’aimer certains objets, en croisant les savoirs et les émotions, les investissements personnels et les disciplines institutionnelles, les projections et les appropriations. Les exemples choisis vont de la Révolution à nos jours et envisagent aussi bien les chefs-d’œuvre de l’art au musée que l’inscription de la société dans les dispositifs patrimoniaux contemporains. On constate chaque fois que l’attachement pour des choses jugées précieuses accroît leur profondeur et leur densité, engage des identifications de leurs " amis " et travaille enfin à différentes représentations collectives. La cristallisation patrimoniale autorise ainsi, sinon une unité imaginée des héritages, au moins l’ambition de leur construction commune.

Summary:
This publication offers a possible history of art since 1989 told through the moments when art becomes public. The anthology addresses some of the myriad worlds conjured by art and the telling of their histories. It is guided by three questions: What is the ‘global’ for art and exhibition-making, or why has it been what it has? How have agents including artists and curators experimented with different forms of exhibition? And how do these exhibitionary moments connect to longer-term and institutional trajectories? Key texts previously published in Afterall journal appear alongside newly commissioned essays, artist contributions, conversations and translations, exploring exhibition as a material, embodied and political practice, while inviting a new location for past art and bringing it into the present for what is to come.

Summary:
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?

Summary:
Museums rarely present objects as migrants. Yet they often arrive there by way of a migratory process, a historical echo of the flows of migration that have dominated the news over the past decade. As individuals migrate, so do cultures, skills, religions, ideas, objects, and materials. This is nothing new, and yet its recent acceleration forces us to think about a world(...)

Summary:
Museums rarely present objects as migrants. Yet they often arrive there by way of a migratory process, a historical echo of the flows of migration that have dominated the news over the past decade. As individuals migrate, so do cultures, skills, religions, ideas, objects, and materials. This is nothing new, and yet its recent acceleration forces us to think about a world in which migration is a constant and the traditional distinction between “native” and “immigrant” is of less relevance. Published together with an exhibition at the Röhsska Museum of Design and Craft in Gothenburg, this volume examines these shifts and how they continuously influence how knowledge is formed.

Summary:
Through conversations with curators and participating artists, this book revisits some of the most groundbreaking yet under-researched European and US public art exhibitions of the 1980s and 1990s. It focuses on questions central to all these projects: How can art productively navigate political tensions? How have artists and curators addressed the ethical asymmetries of the border condition, of inside and outside, working across walls and fences—whether physical, political, or social? Why is participation so hard to catalyze and conduct? How have artworks come to constitute a practice of “situated knowledge,” engaging with the contexts in which they are produced or exhibited? And finally, what can we learn from the exhibitions discussed here when developing new, respectful forms of curating today?

Summary:
In our current era of global pandemic and violent political upheaval, the question must be asked: What is our future and whose voices will announce it? These can only be situated voices, each with its own body and space, formed through dialogue within their own communities and in reaction and resistance to dominant discourses. Museum director, curator, and writer Zdenka Badovinac argues that these situated voices of people, artworks, and exhibitions, rooted in the local, can bring incisive, productive change. The call of these voices, in rethinking art, curation, and institutions, is the subject of this powerful essay.
