¿A quién pertenecen los mármoles del Partenón o el busto de Nefertiti? La historia de cómo el imperialismo y el colonialismo llenaron nuestros museos.Detrás de muchas de las obras que admiramos cuando visitamos el Louvre, el Museo Britanico o el Met de Nueva York se oculta un pasado incomodo. Son piezas que desaparecieron de su lugar de origen, arrancadas de templos, tumbas o palacios, y que hoy se siguen reclamando.Durante siglos, los grandes museos reunieron objetos procedentes de todos los rincones del planeta convencidos de estar preservando el patrimonio de la humanidad. Pero tras esa apariencia de universalidad se esconde una historia de conquistas, expolios y apropiaciones que todavia proyecta su sombra sobre nuestras instituciones culturales.Este libro sigue el rastro de seis piezas emblematicas de los marmoles del Partenon al penacho de Moctezuma, los bronces de Benin y el busto de Nefertiti para contar, con rigor y claridad, como llegaron a las salas de exposicion en las que reposan y para abrir el debate sobre su restitucion.

A obra "Conservação preventiva de edifícios históricos: princípios e práticas" apresenta um panorama do avanço da conservação preventiva no Brasil, mostrando como essa abordagem passou a integrar gra

Este livro apresenta um estudo do conjunto composto pelo Largo, Chafariz, Ponte e Casa dos Contos, que denominamos Conjunto dos Contos (CDC), situado em Ouro Preto, Minas Gerais, no período compreendido entre 1750 e 2023. A cidade e protegida em seu conjunto e tambem e palco de inumeros conflitos e disputas que nem sempre so colocados em evidencia, uma cidade viva. Seus atributos lhe garantem notoriedade historica e cultural em ambito internacional, pois figura na lista de Patrimonio da Humanidade da Unesco desde 1980. Adotamos a noço de paisagem como leitura do espaço e compreendemos que ela se baseia na experiencia e na percepço de quem a vive, a experimenta, entendendo que as relaçes do corpo com o espaço so primordiais, como elementos inter-relacionais e indissociaveis. Alem de ter se tornado um objeto da politica de instituiçes de preservaço, a paisagem e, ainda, uma forma de pensamento. O CDC e um espaço de uso coletivo intenso com funçes que variam ao longo de sua historia e essencial para o funcionamento da cidade. O livro e uma leitura da historia da paisagem que destaca seu contexto sociotecnico com base em documentos textuais e imageticos. Nessa direço, defendemos que a paisagem apenas faz sentido se estiver totalmente integrada em todos os seus elementos, principalmente as pessoas, que do sentido a ela.

A pesquisa de Raniery Fontenele Firmino explora de forma inovadora como os moradores do Poço da Draga ressignificam o patrimônio cultural, combinando metodologia consistente e narrativas envolventes.

¿Qué es un comisario de arte? Una aproximación lúdica y divulgativa a partir de la vida y la obra de algunos de los artistas más destacados del siglo XX.Si como decía Joseph Beuys todo el mundo es artista, ¿tambien todo el mundo es curator? ¿Que es un curator, un comisario de exposiciones? ¿El comisario es un autor? ¿Y que tipo de autor es?David G. Torres, profesor y comisario, propone diversos recorridos por el arte contemporaneo desde el advenimiento de la modernidad en un libro ameno y sugerente en forma de collage de historias e itinerarios. Y desvela que tal vez todos han sido comisarios.En sus paginas van asomando Baudelaire el paseante de la ciudad, Marcel Duchamp frente a Picasso, Joseph Beuys desnudo en una playa africana, Michel Foucault consumiendo LSD en el Death Valley, Guy Debord el visionario alcoholizado, un Pollock enfadadisimo y Niki de Saint Phalle disparando alegremente a sus pinturas, el rostro siniestro de Carl Andre frente a Ana Mendieta, Carolee Schneemann, Marjorie Strider, Tracey Emin, Chiara Fumai y un Francis Bacon que dijo aquello de que pintar es una forma de comunicarse y una forma de hacer amigos a traves del tiempo y el espacio.

Huella M es una metodología para la acción sostenible de museos, a través de la cual se estructura una serie de indicadores e instrucciones para que estas instituciones puedan realizar un diagnóstico inicial en materia de sostenibilidad, que sirva para trazar un plan que atienda tanto las exigencias que establecen los ODS como los retos incluidos en la renovada definicion de museo. Es una herramienta que coadyuva al entendimiento de la sostenibilidad museal desde cinco dimensiones: ambiental, comunicacional, cultural, economica y social, creada para atender las particularidades de las instituciones museisticas. A traves de metricas cualitativas y cuantitativas, los museos podran precisar el momento en el que se encuentran en la implementacion de un desarrollo sostenible y trazar su propio plan estrategico en este sentido.Huella M es, tambien, un camino para que los lideres de las dependencias de comunicacion de los museos comprendan no solamente el proceso global de la sostenibilidad, sino que internalicen la relevancia de su papel como gestores y responsables del reporting dentro y fuera de la institucion.

Entre principios del siglo XVII y mediados del siglo XVIII, la Compañía de Jesús estableció más de cien misiones en el centro de la Nueva Vizcaya (Chihuahua, México). Éstas tenían como objetivo agrupar y establecer sociedades indigenas cristianas practicantes de las tradiciones, creencias, modos y formas de vida europeas. Hoy en dia, las ciudades y pueblos rurales del estado son resultado de dichos asentamientos misionales, asi como de las haciendas, presidios, villas españolas y Real de Minas instituidos por la corona española en aquella epoca. Los jesuitas construyeron y decoraron sus templos aprovechando el entorno natural y los materiales locales, si bien aplicaban estilos, tecnicas y materiales tales como pigmentos y colorantes originarios del centro de la Nueva España y de Europa. En la actualidad, el programa de evangelizacion de los misioneros continua papable en las comunidades chihuahuenses, que en su mayoria preservan el legado arquitectonico y artistico, asi como las manifestaciones culturales derivadas del mestizaje. El presente volumen proporciona datos ineditos sobre las superficies decorativas de cuatro casos emblematicos: Santa Maria de Cuevas, San Francisco de Borja, Cusihuiriachi y Santa Ana de La Joya, profundizando no solo en la historia del arte del Mexico norte sino tambien en los aspectos socioeconomicos de la epoca.

Peter Sloterdijk sees our digitalized world in a "growing spatial crisis", accompanied by the danger of a "general virtuality of all relationships". Others view the digitalization of the world as opening up a grassroots democratic space that allows everyone access to culture. Against this backdrop, this anthology examines the spatial characteristics of the museum between physical place and virtual space. The chapters collected here approach the museum space from various disciplinary perspectives, such as philosophy, history, art history, architecture, scenography, museum education and curatorial studies. At the same time, the contributions by international museum experts are assigned to different literary genres fundamental considerations alternate with think pieces, case studies and interviews.

Exhibition spaces are physical places of knowledge production and exchange. Their spatial properties play an important role in contextualizing information. Virtual stagings of exhibitions should therefore retain these properties. The Beyond Matter research project (201923) aims to unravel the intertwining of physical and virtual structures and their impact on spatial aspects in art production, curating, and art education, and thus to identify ways to preserve cultural heritage in the digital age. This publication offers a comprehensive overview of the diverse research activities, exhibition and book projects, and symposia that have taken place or emerged in the course of the international Beyond Matter project at the various partner institutions.

¿Hacia dónde camina el museo del siglo XXI? Este ensayo hace un breve repaso de los orígenes y evolución del museo clásico desde el siglo XVIII al XXI. En ese recorrido se centra en la transformación de la institucion museistica de templo de la cultura en centro que compite con el resto de la oferta de ocio de su ciudad, desdibujando los ideales que lo sustentaron en origen, mermando el potencial de comunion sublime que puede ofrecer el gran arte, y rindiendose, ademas, al poder, las exigencias y manipulaciones de los nuevos canones imperantes.

Los museos etnográficos europeos llevan tiempo sufriendo presiones para legitimarse. El discurso fundamental de sus exposiciones está tan en juego como la historia de sus colecciones, que con demasiada frecuencia deben mucho a la autolegitimacion colonial. Esta claro que las cosas no pueden seguir asi. Clementine Deliss muestra en su actual publicacion que tambien puede ser muy diferente. Ofrece una apasionante mezcla de novela autobiograficamente informada y tesis cientificamente argumentada sobre arte contemporaneo y etnologia. Las reflexiones sobre su propio trabajo como directora del Museo Weltkulturen de Francfort se cruzan con encuentros formativos con influyentes cineastas, artistas y escritores. Las descripciones de las condiciones se encuentran con el Museo Metabolico, que como laboratorio intervencionista abre posibles colecciones para el futuro.
