The Curious Museum
Van Abbe Museum in NL attempts to enlarge the experience and understanding of traditional museum. They call it a curious museum and understand it as a research project.
Walking through the museum, visitors are likely to be asked about their personal background and motivations - the traditional wall texts have been replaced with wooden modules that provide questions as access points to the featured exhibitions: ‘Where were you in 1989?’ ‘What’s your idea of the perfect museum?'
Must Have: Studio International
I am looking for the Vol. 195 No. 900.1/1980
Special Issue: Art Galleries & Alternative Spaces of Studio International Magazine.
History In The Present
The latest issue of Manifesta Journal, a journal of contemporary curatorship is quite good. It suggest looking back in time and exhibition's history. Especially due to Seth Siegelaub's interview, it is one of my highlights now. Enjoy!
Exhibitions are, by definition, ephemeral. They experience time dramatically. While the works displayed are usually destined to endure, the exhibition itself is condemned to disappear. From a historical perspective, the most authentic locus of an exhibition is arguably in the viewer's memory. Not all exhibitions, however, are granted a place in history.
The Artist's Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement
f 'The Artist's Reserved Rights Transfer and Sale Agreement,' [Seth Siegelaub and Robert Projansky]. The Agreement, was written in 1971 by Siegelaub, well-known as the organizer of early Conceptual art exhibitions in the late 1960s, in collaboration with the lawyer Bob Projansky.
