Museo en Red. Interweaving Ecosystems
Under the title Carta(s), the Museo Reina Sofía seeks to broaden some of the debates that unfold in the institution and beyond. Carta(s), the result of a joint project between the Museo?s Editorial Activities and Public Activities Departments, looks to draw attention to the reverberations between initiatives driven and welcomed by the Museo?s different lines of research and artistic and critical production. This sixth volume has been carried out inside the framework of the Ánibal Quijano Chair, from the Museo?s Study Centre, in the pursuance of opening a channel of collective reflection-action by means of the contributions of Latin American decolonial thought, particularly the theory of the coloniality of power formulated by Peruvian intellectual Aníbal Quijano (1928?2018), with the aim of incorporating it into the myriad viewpoints today that divest modernity of its primal promises.
Marcel Broodthaers
Marcel Broodthaers's (Belgian, 1924-1976) extraordinary output across mediums placed him at the center of international activity during the transformative decades of the 1960s and 1970s. Throughout his career, from early objects variously made of mussels, eggshells, and books of his own poetry; to his most ambitious project, the Musée d'Art Moderne. Département des Aigles; and the Décors made at the end of his life, Broodthaers occupied a unique position, often operating as both innovator and commentator. Setting a precedent for what we call installation art today, his work has had a profound influence on a broad range of contemporary artists, and he remains vitally relevant to cultural d...
Campos magnéticos
Arte y política son ámbitos fuertemente interconectados, se atraen y se repelen, dibujan continuidades y provocan rupturas, y los ensayos que se recogen en el presente volumen se hallan sujetos a la tensión entre estas fuerzas. Ya sea como reflexión sobre la condición contemporánea, sobre la práctica artística o sobre los límites y la potencialidad del museo, cada uno de los escritos se halla situado en el tiempo y el espacio, y todos ellos reflejan la trayectoria intelectual de Manuel Borja-Villel al frente de importantes instituciones museísticas, así como algunas de sus inquietudes curatoriales como responsable de numerosas exposiciones o programas públicos a lo largo de los últimos treinta años. Defensor de la hibridación y el trasvase de saberes frente a la compartimentación estanca del conocimiento y su forma de organización, este libro apuesta por la investigación extradisciplinar y la interrelación de múltiples campos. Y es ante todo una invitación a reflexionar sobre el arte, sus organizaciones y sus actores.
Making Art History in Europe After 1945
This book analyses the intermeshing of state power and art history in Europe since 1945 and up to the present from a critical, de-centered perspective. Devoting special attention to European peripheries and to under-researched transnational cultural political initiatives related to the arts implemented after the end of the Second World War, the contributors explore the ways in which this relationship crystallised in specific moments, places, discourses and practices. They make the historic hegemonic centres of the discipline converse with Europe’s Southern and Eastern peripheries, from Portugal to Estonia to Greece. By stressing the margins’ point of view this volume rethinks the ideological grounds on which art history and the European Union have been constructed as well as the role played by art and culture in the very concept of ‘Europe.’
Museum of the Future
Museums of contemporary art are expanding and in crisis. They attract ever-larger audiences, architects constantly redesign them, and the growing number of artists is producing more massively than ever; at the same time museum funds are dwindling in the economic crisis and an overheated art market. This text gathers together interviews with international artists, architects and curators of the contemporary art world.
Deinstitutionalizing Art of the Nomadic Museum
Deinstitutionalizing Art of the Nomadic Museum explores the possibility of the "nomadic museum" to facilitate social and political resistance through engagement with critical art practices and imagery. Grounded in a decade-long art therapy project in a contemporary art museum setting, this book offers a theoretically rich conceptualization of this experience. The text establishes an institutional critique of both the dominant psychopathology discourse and the instrumentalizations of art practices. Innovative in its approach, the results are analyzed in the framework of subjects such as hegemony-subalternity, subjectivity, resistance, the nomadic, critical art practices, narratives and minor ...
