A New Museum and the Impermanent Canon, Gebunden

Klappentext

A timely reflection on the Museum of Modern Art's collection. The opening of a new museum building offers a unique moment for reflection and reinvention. This book explores the Museum of Modern Art's collection as a lens through which to critically examine the very institutions of the art museum, collecting practices, and artistic canon in the present day.  Leading voices in contemporary art and museum studies contribute a range of perspectives on crucial questions: How do museums navigate their historical and political contexts? How can they better engage and represent diverse communities? What does it mean to decolonize a museum collection? Through insightful analysis and case studies, this volume charts a path for museums to embrace their evolving role in an increasingly complex world.
