Résumé:
"The Constituent Museum" is inspired by a simple question: What would happen if museums put relationships at the center of their operations? Museums often organize their relationships with the public as "educational," but this role can be rethought.

Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a significant expansion in the field of transhistorical exhibition practice—that is, exhibitions in which objects from various art-historical periods and cultural contexts are put on display together.

Résumé:
Since the turn of the 21st century, there has been a significant expansion in the field of transhistorical exhibition practice—that is, exhibitions in which objects from various art-historical periods and cultural contexts are put on display together. These juxtapositions are made in an effort to question traditional museological notions like chronology, context and category in the space of the museum itself. Drawing on the expertise of a wide range of international museum professionals, "The Transhistorical Museum: Mapping the Field" considers a range of such transhistorical curatorial efforts, exploring the rationale behind these projects, the particular challenges they present and the particular rewards they can offer. This volume surveys the history and future potential of the phenomenon of the transhistorical museum.

Résumé:
L'exposition d'œuvres d'art est caractérisée par son aspect éphémère, elle finit toujours par disparaître pour ne rester dans la mémoire qu'à travers les traces que sont les catalogues et les archives. Parmi ces archives les vues d'expositions jouent un rôle à la fois singulier, transparent et déterminant. Photographie et Exposition sont étroitement liées, toutes deux consistent à « montrer » et surtout à « mettre en lumière». Cet ouvrage fait le point sur le nouveau statut des photographies de vues d’exposition : fonction documentaire complexe, entre archive et support de représentation, elles n’ont pas qu’une valeur testimoniale, mais s’inscrivent aussi dans le contexte postmoderne comme des outils artistiques et curatoriaux.

Résumé:
Museums are frequently sites of struggle and negotiation. They are key cultural institutions that occupy an oftentimes uncomfortable place at the crossroads of the arts, culture, various levels of government, corporate ventures, and the public. Because of this, museums are targeted by political action but can also provide support for contentious politics. Though protests at museums are understudied, they are far from anomalous. "Tear Gas Epiphanies" traces the as-yet-untold story of political action at museums in Canada from the early twentieth century to the present. The book looks at how museums do or do not archive protest ephemera, examining a range of responses to actions taking place at their thresholds, from active encouragement to belligerent dismissal. Drawing together extensive primary-source research and analysis, Robertson questions widespread perceptions of museums, strongly arguing for a reconsideration of their role in contemporary society that takes into account political conflict and protest as key ingredients in museum life.

Résumé:
''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.

Why do design? What is design for? 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.

Résumé:
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.
