Reconstructing Exhibitions in Art Institutions Summary

Reconstructing Exhibitions in Art Institutions by Natasha Adamou

This book

  • considers the theme of exhibitions as political resistance as well as cultural critique from global perspectives including South Africa, Latin America, Eastern Europe, USA, and West Europe.

  • includes contributions by ten authors from the fields of art history, social sciences, anthropology, museum studies, provenance research, curating and exhibition histories.

  • examines exhibition reconstructions both as a symptom of advanced capitalism, geopolitical dynamics, and social uprisings, and as a critique of imperial and capitalist violence. Art historical areas covered in the book include conceptualism, minimalism, modern painting, global modernisms, archives, and community arts.

  • will be of interest to a wide range of audiences including art historians, curators, gallery studies and museum professionals, but also scholars and students from the fields of anthropology, ethnography, sociology, and history. It would also appeal to a general public with an interest in modern and contemporary art exhibitions.
