This anthology addresses the challenges of curating, presenting, and preserving new-media art—artworks that use digital technologies as media and emphasize process over object. As an art form that is inherently time based, dynamic, interactive, collaborative, customizable, and variable, new-media art resists objectification. It boldly challenges the traditional art(...)

Résumé:
This anthology addresses the challenges of curating, presenting, and preserving new-media art—artworks that use digital technologies as media and emphasize process over object. As an art form that is inherently time based, dynamic, interactive, collaborative, customizable, and variable, new-media art resists objectification. It boldly challenges the traditional art world's customary methods of presentation and documentation as well as its approach to collection and preservation. Edited and introduced by Christiane Paul and featuring contributions by prominent practitioners—institutional and independent curators, theorists, and conservators—this volume charts developments in an exciting field and addresses the conceptual, philosophical, and practical issues of both curating and presenting new-media art.

Résumé:
This volume presents the ''Circle of Doing Research'' : a model to get you started in art and design research. Conceived within the contextual setting of the art school, it is holistic, multidisciplinary and prioritizes practice. It consists of six actions. The basis of the circle is formed by the following: research by making, research of context and participatory research, where information, prototypes, encounters and experiences are gathered and produced. The remaining three actions are concerned with documenting research, publicizing research and reflecting on research. The ''Circle of Doing Research'' is an open, accessible and non-linear model. Each action can be an entry point, whether you want to start with material experiments, conversations with others, or in the library. All actions are connected and inform each other which encourages a process of iteration and constant reflection. The ''Circle'' can be enriched with methods, sources and focal points according to specific disciplines and needs. The book contains research trajectories of art and design students throughout, illustrating the rich possibilities to be uncovered in the unfolding of a research project. This illuminating model can be useful to all, from those beginning to learn about research in art and design to more advanced practitioners.

Résumé:
Les animaux de zoo sont aujourd'hui tous nés en captivité. Vestiges vivants d'un monde sauvage perdu, archives génétiques ou ambassadeurs de leur espèce, ils sont gérés en collections et exposés comme au musée. De quels patrimoines sont-ils les restes ? Par son approche ethnographique, l'auteure invite à une réflexion en forme de promenade au zoo. Des allées aux enclos, des bureaux à la clinique, l'anthropologue observe, interroge, cherche à comprendre les logiques à l'œuvre, les plaisirs à voir, les dilemmes à lever. Car pour conserver la biodiversité avec des collections vivantes, pour maintenir captifs des animaux en assurant leur bien-être, pour divertir les publics tout en les sensibilisant, des choix doivent être faits : comme au musée, de sélection, d'inventaire et de mise en scène ; comme dans un élevage, de gestion des corps et des espaces, de sécurité sanitaire et de reproduction.

Résumé:
The Western museum is a battleground - a terrain of ideological, political and economic contestation. Almost everyone today wants to rethink the museum, but how many have the audacity to question the idea of the universal museum itself? In "A programme of absolute disorder," Françoise Vergès puts the museum in its place. Exploring the Louvre's history, she uncovers the context in which the universal museum emerged: as a product of colonialism, and of Europe's self-appointed claim to be the guardian of global heritage. Vergès outlines a radical horizon: to truly decolonize the museum is to implement a 'programme of absolute disorder', inventing other ways of apprehending the human and non-human world that nourish collective creativity and bring justice and dignity to the dispossessed.

Résumé:
"The New Design Museum" brings together theories and voices from leading international institutions and independent initiatives addressing the transformed––and continually transforming––nature of design in the twenty-first century and its planetary scope in both practical and discursive dimensions. By mapping a new landscape of institutional practices across different geographical locations, it reveals how spaces of culture dedicated to design need transformation—of their missions, programs, and outreach platforms—to respond to an ever-expanding outlook on design as a field that is moving beyond its traditional presentation as an object-based practice. This book ultimately examines the critical role of cultural institutions as engines for knowledge production, where a democratic politics of mutual care and shared purpose can be explored and exercised.

Résumé:
Hans Ulrich Obrist curated his first exhibit in his kitchen when he was twenty-three years old. Since then he has staged more than 250 shows internationally, many of them among the most influential exhibits of our age. ''Ways of Curating'' is a compendium of the insights Obrist has gained from his years of extraordinary work in the art world. It skips between centuries and continents, flitting from meetings with the artists who have inspired him (including Gerhard Richter, Louise Bourgeois, and Gilbert and George) to biographies of influential figures such as Diaghilev and Walter Hopps. It describes some of the greatest exhibitions in history, as well as some of the greatest exhibitions never realized. It traces the evolution of collections from Athanasius Kircher's seventeenth-century Wunderkammer to modern museums, and points the way for projects yet to come. Obrist has rescued the word "curate" from wine stores and playlists to remind us of the power inherent in looking at art--and at the world--in a new way.
