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.

As museums worldwide shuttered in 2020 because of the coronavirus, New York-based cultural strategist András Szántó conducted a series of interviews with an international group of museum leaders. In a moment when economic, political, and cultural shifts are signaling the start of a new era, the directors speak candidly about the historical limitations and untapped potential of art museums. Each of the twenty-eight conversations in this book explores a particular topic of relevance to art institutions today and tomorrow. What emerges from the series of in-depth conversations is a composite portrait of a generation of museum leaders working to make institutions more open, democratic, inclusive, experimental and experiential, technologically savvy, culturally polyphonic, attuned to the needs of their visitors and communities, and concerned with addressing the defining issues of the societies around them. The dialogues offer glimpses of how museums around the globe are undergoing an accelerated phase of reappraisal and reinvention.CONVERSATION PARTNERS Marion Ackermann (Staatliche Kunstsammlungen Dresden), Cecilia Alemani (The High Line, New York), Anton Belov (Garage Museum of Contemporary Art, Moscow), Meriem Berrada (MACAAL, Marrakesh), Daniel Birnbaum (Acute Art, London), Thomas P.

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.

A obra avalia o uso pedagógico de imagens em exposições que apresentam um discurso expositivo, usuais nos museus de história desde o século XIX, procurando discutir relações entre imagem, história e

Este libro analiza el proceso de construcción de un saber especializado sobre el pasado y sus objetos realizado por intelectuales-coleccionistas en la región andina, entre 1892 y 1915. Durante estos años, las antiguedades, en particular las indigenas, fueron vestigios valorados en multiples dimensiones: desde la transaccion diplomatica, el credo hispanico, el discurso de la arqueologia transatlantica, las sociabilidades intelectuales y el museo nacional. Esta investigacion aborda las distintas experiencias locales y sus conexiones globales que arrancan en 1892 con la conmemoracion del descubrimiento de America y se extienden hacia las primeras decadas del siglo XX, con la fundacion de academias, sociedades e institutos de historia. El estudio critico de estos procesos de musealizacion y sus proyecciones publicas, en perspectiva cruzada, nos permiten comprender el complejo escenario en el que se erigen las representaciones nacionales y los distintos sentidos atribuidos a los objetos que fueron exhibidos, obsequiados, negociados o coleccionados.

Museos y centros de arte llevan varias décadas inmersos en un proceso de cambio, tratando de transitar desde una concepción más patrimonialista de la producción artística, a otra que busca atender a una diversidad de publicos y de actividades, orientada a la produccion de conocimientos y experiencias y hacia un modelo socialmente transformador y mas democratico de institucionalidad. En dicho proceso, la educacion y la mediacion han alcanzado una importancia creciente, como atestigua la creacion de departamentos de educacion y accion cultural (DEAC). Pero en un contexto de recesion economica y politica, su evolucion ha venido marcada por distintos obstaculos y contradicciones, teniendo que hacer frente a un modelo turistizador y desarrollista de cultura, a la perdida de autonomia y deterioro institucional o a la explotacion y precarizacion laboral. Sin embargo, en este tiempo, no solo las instituciones culturales se han visto afectadas por estos diversos cambios, sino tambien las personas y colectivos que, como profesionales o usuarios, interactuan con ellos. Exponer o exponerse quiere dar cuenta de estas transformaciones en el DEAC del MUSAC de Leon, que podria ser cualquier otro centro de cultura contemporanea de los que se abrieron en España a comienzos del milenio. Este libro nace, por tanto, del deseo de ofrecer un relato situado de las practicas y experiencias vividas por las personas y colectivos trabajadores y usuarios del museo, incluidas sus contradicciones, tensiones y malestares, pero tambien su potencia politica. Como afirma Nora Sternfeld, la cuestion no es tanto si la practica educativa deja suficiente espacio a las contradicciones, sino si esas contradicciones pueden marcar una diferencia tanto en los publicos como en el propio discurso institucional. Son estas diferencias las que han buscado plasmarse aqui para aprender de ellas y apuntar quiza asi caminos nuevos para lo que esta por venir.

Climate change is a reality, and communities around the world are now facing significant environmental problems rising global temperatures leading to increased risk of flooding, fire, and sea level rise, resulting in the destruction of property and social infrastructure, loss of biodiversity and tangible and intangible cultural heritage, and damage to economies. Little wonder then that the online conference held on 30 September 2021 with the title "Ecomuseums and Climate Action" attracted more than one hundred participants from countries whose communities are facing these problems.This book presents the results of this conference where heritage experts, community activists, curators, politicians and academics from several countries, explored how ecomuseums and community museums are acting as catalysts for transition, renewal, and sustainable development and how they might effectively contribute to the UNs Sustainable Development Goals and climate action. How can these organisations best contribute to the debate about the climate crisis and promote local action? Central to those actions are encouraging local people to recognise how important their cultural, natural and intangible cultural heritage is in making places special and giving a sense of belonging, why that heritage should be sustained, and how heritage assets can be used to promote climate action. This book with its remarkable collection of essays from around the world demonstrates how small local actions, considered together, can have a dramatic and far-reaching impact. It will be warmly welcomed by anyone interested in climate action, heritage and museum studies, and environmental issues.
