El mundo de los museos está en el centro de la diana de la sociedad y de la cultura contemporáneas. Tanto por sus ricas colecciones permanentes y sus atractivas exposiciones temporales como por sus renovados e innovadores planteamientos arquitectonicos, los museos de arte han dejado de ser la "casa de las musas" para convertirse en aventura cultural y en punto de encuentro de la reflexion intelectual de la modernidad.

Uno de los rasgos más notables de la escritura de Davenport estriba en hacer llegar la conversación "téte a téte" al territorio de los libros. Sus ensayos no carecen de los ingredientes que hacen de la charla una forma amena y familiar de renovar las sales del espiritu. Elocuencia, sentido del humor, cierta aura transparente de misterio y el talento necesario para provocar la simpatia y la devocion de sus lectores son las huellas mas sobresalientes del estilo davenportiano. La prosa de Davenport es tambien una afirmacion de la vida, la celebracion de la luz que se encuentra al final de un tunel tortuoso y contradictorio si se piensa, por un lado, en las atrocidades que le han dado sustancia historica a este siglo, y por el otro, en la plenitud de sus manifestaciones artisticas. Gabriel Bernal Granados.

Creating Digital Exhibits for Cultural Institutions will show you how to create digital exhibits and experiences for your users that will be informative, accessible and engaging. Illustrated with real-world examples of digital exhibits from a range of GLAMs, the book addresses the many analytical aspects and practical considerations involved in the creation of such exhibits. It will support you as you go about: analyzing content to find hidden themes, applying principles from the museum exhibit literature, placing your content within internal and external information ecosystems, selecting exhibit software, and finding ways to recognize and use your own creativity.Demonstrating that an exhibit provides a useful and creative connecting point where your content, your organization, and your audience can meet, the book also demonstrates that such exhibits can provide a way to revisit difficult and painful material in a way that includes frank and enlightened analyses of issues such as racism, colonialism, sexism, class, and LGBTQI+ issues. Creating Digital Exhibits for Cultural Institutions is an essential resource for librarians, archivists, and other cultural heritage professionals who want to promote their institution's digital content to the widest possible audience. Academics and students working in the fields of library and information science, museum studies and digital humanities will also find much to interest them within the pages of this book.

"These famous essays are as fresh and stimulating today as when they jumped off the pages of "Artforum. Those who have not read Brian O''Doherty will relish his poetically phrased, elegantly written, and ironically tempered taunt to so many received notions about twentieth-century mainstream art."--Jan van der Marck, author of "Arman When these essays first appeared in "Artforum" in 1976, their impact was immediate. They were discussed, annotated, cited, collected, and translated--the three issues of "Artforum" in which they appeared have become nearly impossible to obtain. Having Brian O''Doherty''s provocative essays available again is a signal event for the art world. This edition also includes "The Gallery as Gesture," a critically important piece published ten years after the others. O''Doherty was the first to explicitly confront a particular crisis in postwar art as he sought to examine the assumptions on which the modern commercial and museum gallery was based. Concerned with the complex and sophisticated relationship between economics, social context, and aesthetics as represented in the contested space of the art gallery, he raises the question of how artists must construe their work in relation to the gallery space and system. These essays are essential reading for anyone interested in the history and issues of postwar art in Europe and the United States. Teeming with ideas, relentless in their pursuit of contradiction and paradox, they exhibit both the understanding of the artist (Patrick Ireland) and the precision of the scholar.

Il nostro Paese, negli ultimi anni, ha conosciuto una significativa e diffusa rinascita dell'interesse e dell'attenzione verso l'arte contemporanea, sia da parte dei cittadini che delle istituzioni centrali e periferiche. Mai come in questi ultimi anni si è infatti assistito ad una vivacità di iniziative rivolte ad ogni aspetto della creatività contemporanea si pensi, in particolare, al MAXXI di Roma, al MART di Rovereto e all'attuale edizione della Biennale di Venezia. Questo volume è una manifestazione della volontà politica di accordo tra lo Stato e gli altri livelli di governo operanti sul territorio nazionale, nel settore dell'arte contemporanea.
