Résumé:
Presenting innovative field research conducted in new and emerging human rights museums across Asia and Latin America, the book adopts a broad museological approach. It does so by including national and community museums, as well as public and private museological initiatives, within its purview. Drawing on in-depth case studies about museums in Taiwan, Japan, Paraguay and Colombia – all discussed within their political and cultural contexts – the book examines the paradigmatic shift that has occurred within the museum field in the wake of the larger global transformations that have shaped contemporary geo-politics over the last 50 years. The diversity of geographical and political contexts, and the attention to lesser-known institutions within the canon of English museum studies literature, presents readers with a valuable opportunity to learn more about innovative museological models in non-English-speaking and non-Western contexts.

Résumé:
In this work of aesthetic theory, James Voorhies argues that we live in the shadow of old ways of thinking about art that emphasize the immediate visual experience of an autonomous art object. But theory must change as artistic and curatorial production has changed. It should encompass the full range of activities through which we encounter art and exhibitions, in which reading and thinking are central to the aesthetic experience. Voorhies advances the theoretical framework of a “postsensual aesthetics,” which does not mean we are beyond a sensual engagement with objects, but rather embraces the cognitive connections with ideas that unite art and knowledge production. Cognitive engagements with art often begin with publications conceived as integral to exhibitions, conveying the knowledge and research artists and curators produce, and continuing in time and space beyond traditional curatorial frames. The idea, and not just visual immediacy, is now art's defining moment.

Résumé:
This collection of writings from Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung presents, for the first time in one volume, essays and proposals edited anew. Ndikung's expanded curatorial practice delineates the space of exhibition making as a space of critical thinking and of experimentation. By proximity, these texts echo each other, resonate with each other, interfere with each other, and present perspectives on the political, poetic, and philosophical potentials of exhibition making, beyond the tight corset of the discipline itself.

Résumé:
Le discours sur l'art traite généralement d'œuvres, d'artistes ou de création mais délaisse un aspect essentiel de la relation esthétique : l'exposition. De fait, la question est complexe : comment aborder conjointement des éléments aussi hétérogènes que les relations entre objets, les relations de ces objets à des lieux ou à des publics ou encore les relations internes au monde de l'art qu'ils sous-tendent ? Une partie de la difficulté tient aux compréhensions contradictoires impliquées par l'exposition ; car exposer c'est à la fois produire une énonciation (un exposé) et découvrir, mettre à nu, mettre en danger. A la fois révéler - en un sens quasi photographique - et dévoiler : dénoncer et donner en exemple - rabaisser et élever. Bien que la question de l'art et de son appréciation ne se réduise évidemment pas à un ensemble de dispositifs de présentation, à des textes d'accompagnement ou de critique, à des choix de commissaires, il n'en demeure pas moins que la prise en compte des procédures d'exposition éclaire singulièrement la place de l'art dans notre monde. Des explications sur les circonstances entourant la création d'une œuvre - de même que la façon dont ces circonstances sont connues et divulguées - enrichissent sa connaissance et en modifient le sens et l'approche. De même, une réflexion sur les publics, la scénographie, l'architecture, les commentaires, les textes de présentation, permet de voir en quoi les différentes médiations orientent et réorientent en permanence le jugement sur les œuvres et notre compréhension de l'art.

War, terrorism, natural disaster, vandalism, and neglect make the work of preservation a greater challenge than it has been since World War II. In « The Monumental Challenge of Preservation » Michèle Cloonan makes the case that, at this critical juncture, we must consider preservation in the broadest possible contexts. Preservation requires the efforts of an increasing number of stakeholders.
