Description
Anti-museum charts the development and practice of this concept, exploring its potential to engage museum audiences in new ways. Drawing on case studies from institutions such as the New Museum and PS1 in New York, Mona in Australia, Art42 in Paris, and Donald Judd's Marfa, the book assesses their ability to breathe vitality into exhibitions by connecting objects to their contexts and social life. The anti-museum seeks to create a dialogue, exchange, and transformation, rather than instruction. It documents its creation through artists, collectors, and curators, examining how it connects with other museums through the exchange of values and resources. This book provides a sharp account of the anti-museum concept, its relevance for understanding and working in the contemporary museum world. It will be of interest to scholars and students studying museums, cultural economy, inclusive urban regeneration, and the democratisation of art, as well as to museum professionals worldwide.
