Museum and Gallery Publishing From Theory to Case Study

Museum and Gallery Publishing From Theory to Case Study

Museum and Gallery Publishing examines the theory and practice of general and scholarly publishing associated with museum and art gallery collections. Focusing on the production and reception of these texts the book explains the relevance of publishing to the cultural commercial and social contexts of collections and their institutions. Combining theory with case studies from around the world Sarah Anne Hughes explores how why and to what effect museums and galleries publish books. Covering a broad range of publishing formats and organisations including heritage sites libraries and temporary exhibitions the book argues that the production and consumption of printed media within the context of collecting institutions occupies a unique and privileged role in the creation and communication of knowledge. Acknowledging that books offer functions beyond communication Hughes argues that this places books published by museums in a unique relationship to institutions with staff acting as producers and visitors as consumers. The logistical and ethical dimensions of museum and gallery publishing are also examined in depth including consideration of issues such as production the impact of digital technologies funding and sponsorship marketing co-publishing rights and curators’ and artists’ agency. Focusing on an important but hitherto neglected topic Museum and Gallery Publishing is key reading for researchers in the fields of museum heritage art and publishing studies. It will also be of interest to curators and other practitioners working in museums heritage and science centres and art galleries. | Museum and Gallery Publishing From Theory to Case Study

The Future of Museum and Gallery Design Purpose Process Perception

The Future of Museum and Gallery Design Purpose Process Perception

The Future of Museum and Gallery Design explores new research and practice in museum design. Placing a specific emphasis on social responsibility in its broadest sense the book emphasises the need for a greater understanding of the impact of museum design in the experiences of visitors in the manifestation of the vision and values of museums and galleries and in the shaping of civic spaces for culture in our shared social world. The chapters included in the book propose a number of innovative approaches to museum design and museum-design research. Collectively contributors plead for more open and creative ways of making museums and ask that museums recognize design as a resource to be harnessed towards a form of museum-making that is culturally located and makes a significant contribution to our personal social environmental and economic sustainability. Such an approach demands new ways of conceptualizing museum and gallery design new ways of acknowledging the potential of design and new experimental and research-led approaches to the shaping of cultural institutions internationally. The Future of Museum and Gallery Design should be of great interest to academics and postgraduate students in the fields of museum studies gallery studies and heritage studies as well as architecture and design who are interested in understanding more about design as a resource in museums. It should also be of great interest to museum and design practitioners and museum leaders. | The Future of Museum and Gallery Design Purpose Process Perception

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Pop art was essential to the Americanization of global art in the 1960s yet it engendered resistance and adaptation abroad in equal measure especially in Paris. From the end of the Algerian War of Independence and the opening of Ileana Sonnabend’s gallery for American Pop art in Paris in 1962 to the silkscreen poster workshops of May ’68 this book examines critical adaptations of Pop motifs and pictorial devices across French painting graphic design cinema and protest aesthetics. Liam Considine argues that the transatlantic dispersion of Pop art gave rise to a new politics of the image that challenged Americanization and prefigured the critiques and contradictions of May ’68. | American Pop Art in France Politics of the Transatlantic Image

Roger Hilton

Roger Hilton

This title was first published in 2003. Twenty-seven years after his death Roger Hilton's reputation as a leading figure in British 'abstract expressionism' continues to rise. Following the major retrospective exhibition at the Hayward Gallery in 1993 and the drawings survey at the Tate St Ives in 1997 this lavishly illustrated account is the first to provide a comprehensive overview of the life and work of this important artist. Hilton's extraordinary career is discussed in all its phases from the intriguing earliest explorations in paint to the inception of his first abstract pieces around 1950 and the complex and intriguing interchanges of imagery and form that mark his final works. Adrian Lewis explains the artist's mature works as both attracting the viewer and resisting easy reading and discusses in detail the artist's debt to the Ecole de Paris and his relation to the notion of the 'act of painting' that pervaded post-war culture.

New Work New Workspace Innovative design in a connected world

New Work New Workspace Innovative design in a connected world

Does it matter where and how we work any more? Increasingly many of us can work anywhere so what is the meaning of the dedicated workspace? With 30 detailed case studies of all kinds of workspaces – from traditional workspaces to writer’s sheds and studios – this book argues that a specific place to work is still needed but that the kind of space is changing fast. As social interaction is favoured over places to toil and as millennials and Generation X take a very different attitude to work than their predecessors being more concerned with completing tasks than presenteeism so the needs of design change. There are increasing metrics for measuring the effectiveness of workspace and they show that good design – design that is focused on the environment and wellbeing that the workforce needs – is valued. At the same time there are more generic spaces such as co-working spaces that have to fit all – or at least all of the target community. Case studies include: 80 Atlantic Avenue Toronto Nick Veasey studio and gallery Kent Kostner House Italy GS1 Lisbon. | New Work New Workspace Innovative design in a connected world

Curating as Feminist Organizing

Curating as Feminist Organizing

What makes curating feminist organizing? How do curators relate to contemporary feminist concerns in their local conditions and the globalized artworld? The book brings together twenty curatorial case studies from diverse regions of the globe. Reflecting their own curatorial projects or analyzing feminist-inspired exhibitions the authors in this book elaborate feminist curating as that which is inspired to challenge gender politics not only within but also beyond the doors of the museum and gallery. Connecting their wider feminist politics to their curatorial practices the book provides case studies of curatorial practice that address the legacies of racialized and ethnic violence including colonialism; which seek to challenges the state's regulation of citizenship and sexuality; and which realize the drive for economic justice in the organizations and roles in which curators work. The settings in which this work is done range from university art galleries to artist-run spaces and educational or activist programmes. This collection will be enjoyed by those studying and researching curating exhibitions socially and ecologically engaged contemporary art practices and feminist transnational movements in diverse geographic contexts. The essays are of relevance to practicing curators critical cultural practitioners and artists. | Curating as Feminist Organizing

Museum Exhibitions and Suspense The Use of Screenwriting Techniques in Curatorial Practice

Museum Exhibitions and Suspense The Use of Screenwriting Techniques in Curatorial Practice

Museum Exhibitions and Suspense takes insights from screenwriting to revolutionise our understanding of exhibition curating. Despite all genuine efforts to reach broader audiences museums persistently fear riskingtheir credibility by becoming ‘too popular’. Thus the enormous potential to learn from other storytelling forms more experienced in the field of entertainment remains essentially unexploited. Museum Exhibitions and Suspense unlocks this creative potential. A comparative in-depth analysis of three classical Hollywood films and three cultural historical exhibitions demonstrates how dramatic suspense techniques can be applied to exhibitions. These techniques must be adapted to the typical epic character of the exhibition medium. By differentiating between mild and wild suspense the book provides a new understanding of the nature of suspense itself. Museum Exhibitions and Suspense addresses academics and students in the fields of museum studies gallery studies and heritage studies interested in how exhibitions function and in how to achieve dramaturgical effects like suspense. It also appeals to scholars and students within film studies who want to gain a deeper understanding of suspense. It provides an important resource for curators and other museum practitioners and scriptwriters who intend to create stories with a wide audience appeal. | Museum Exhibitions and Suspense The Use of Screenwriting Techniques in Curatorial Practice
