Summary:
In recent years there has been increased debate on the incorporation of pedagogy into curatorial practice — on what has been termed "the educational turn" ("turn" in the sense of a paradigmatic reorientation, within the arts). In this new volume, artists, curators, critics and academics respond to this widely recognized turn in contemporary art. Consisting primarily of newly commissioned texts, from interviews and position statements to performative text and dialogue, this book also includes a number of previously published writings that have proved primary in the debate so far. Contributors include David Aguirre, Dave Beech, Cornford & Cross, Charles Esche, Liam Gillick, Tom Holert and Emily Pethick.

Summary:
Pur produit de l'Occident qui s'exporte aujourd'hui avec fracas, le musée est en réalité une institution coupée de la vie, qui s'est constituée en mythologie, voire en uchronie (monde privé d'histoire). S'il témoigne de notre besoin d'une référence identitaire stable, il n'en est pas moins en porte-à-faux avec les réalités sociales contemporaines. Doit-il fermer ses portes ou peut-il se rénover ? Dans le sillage des différentes utopies proposées à la fin du XXe siècle, les récents musées de société tentent d'échapper à toute forme de dogmatisme en pratiquant l'ouverture et la mise en question délibérée.
