Ici est rassemblé les quatre essais initialement publiés entre 1976 et 1981, une postface véhémente publiée en 1986 et un cinquième essai qui en constitue la conclusion. L'auteur identifie dans ces essais le cube blanc de la galerie comme pôle complémentaire du tableau moderniste, il développe également une véritable dramaturgie de la perception, où l'espace d'exposition est le laboratoire d'un art qui ne se conçoit plus sans sa relation au spectateur.

Résumé:
This book examines trends in the display of art since the mid-twentieth century, focusing particularly on institutional issues. The contributors present a series of case studies that illuminate the practices of museums, galleries, and exhibitions in Western Europe and the United States and that encourage reflection on the experience of the spectator. The first section of the book considers the traditional sanctum of art, the museum, and how approaches to display have changed as modern museums have sought to become accessible to new audiences. In the second section, case studies address issues surrounding temporary exhibitions, their dominance of the display of art today, and the implications of this for artists, spectators, and the institutions that stage such exhibitions. The third section considers the wider social context in which art is displayed today and discusses the widespread reliance on urban regeneration projects, with special reference to modern art museums, and the place of heritage in Britain, specifically the cult of the country house. The book concludes with an exploration of the art world in contemporary Ireland and the role of Irish institutions in the production and reception of art.

Résumé:
Every city has at least one, and great cities often have more. From the Louvre to the Bilbao Guggenheim, the museum has had a long-standing relationship with the city. This ground-breaking volume examines the meaning of museum architecture in the urban environment, considering important issues such as forms of civic representation, urban regeneration, cultural tourism and the museumification of the city itself. Bringing together an international group of distinguished scholars from a range of disciplines, this volume bridges the gap between museum studies and traditional architectural history. The contributors explore the conceptual architectural frameworks that govern the museum's diverse symbolic structures and focus attention on the complex ways in which museums function in the city. Ranging from the 17th century to the present day, the detailed and thoroughly researched case studies are drawn from Great Britain, continental Europe, South America and Australia.

A partir de 1930 se joue un moment décisif dans l'histoire des musées et de leur architecture, en France comme en Europe et aux Etats-Unis... A partir de 1930 se joue un moment décisif dans l'histoire des musées et de leur architecture, en France comme en Europe et aux Etats-Unis. A quelques exceptions près, tous les acteurs de ce domaine (conservateurs et architectes au premier chef) considèrent le modèle du musée classique comme caduc. Si l'espace muséal perdure dans nombre d'édifices, celui-ci se modernise et s'adapte à une demande de sobriété et de pédagogie. En France, la perspective de l'Exposition universelle de 1937 accélère les choses et pousse Auguste Perret et Le Corbusier à se positionner, chacun dans un registre spécifique. Leurs projets théoriques ne voient pas le jour mais posent des bases importantes pour la réflexion sur les nouveaux types muséaux.

Résumé:
Nina Mö ntmann's timely book extends the decolonisation debate to the institutions of contemporary art. In a thoughtfully articulated text, illustrated with pertinent examples of best practice, she argues that museums and galleries of contemporary art have a responsibility to "decenter" their institutions, removing from their collections, exhibition policies and infrastructures a deeply embedded Euro-centric cultural focus with roots in the history of colonialism. In this, she argues, they can learn from the example both of anthropological museums (such as the Humboldt Forum in Berlin and the British Museum), which are engaged in debates about the colonial histories of their collections, and of small-scale art spaces (such as La Colonie in Paris or Savvy Contemporary in Berlin), which have the flexibility to initiate different kinds of conversation – for example, by programming exhibitions and events in collaboration with local diasporic communities from the global south.

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.
