Curating Lively Objects : Exhibitions Beyond Disciplines, Paperback / softback Book

Curating Lively Objects : Exhibitions Beyond Disciplines Paperback / softback

Edited by Lizzie (UNSW Sydney, Australia) Muller, Caroline (OCAD University, Canada) Seck Langill

Part of the Routledge Research in Museum Studies series

Paperback / softback

Description

Curating Lively Objects explores the role of things as catalysts in imagining futures beyond disciplines for museums and exhibitions.

Authors describe how their curatorial collaborations with diverse objects, from rocks to robots, generate new ways of organising and sharing knowledge. Bringing together leading artists and curators from Australia and Canada, this volume addresses object liveliness from a range of entwined perspectives, including new materialism, decolonial thinking, Indigenous epistemologies, environmentalism, feminist critique and digital aesthetics.

Foregrounding practice-based curatorial scholarship, the book focuses on rigorous reflexive accounts of how curating is done.

It contributes to global topics in curatorial research, including time and memory beyond and before disciplinarity; the relationship between human and non-human across different ontologies; and the interaction between Indigenous knowledge and disciplinary expertise in interpreting museum collections.

Curating Lively Objects will be of interest to scholars and students in the fields of curatorial studies, museum studies, cultural heritage, art history, Indigenous studies, material culture and anthropology.

It also provides a vital resource for professionals working in museums and galleries around the world who are seeking to respond creatively, ethically and inclusively to the challenge of changing disciplinary boundaries.
