Description
Rethinking Research in the Art Museum presents a radical perspective on how research can function as an agent of change in art museums today. It analyses various art organisations and draws on interviews with museum professionals to outline the limitations of existing models of museum research. The book argues for a more democratic formulation, one that aligns with the current needs and ambitions of the art institution. A framework is put forward for practitioner-led, co-produced research, redefining how knowledge is created in the museum. This approach recognises the value of constructing the art museum professional as a practitioner researcher, highlighting their work as a mode of practice-based research. This book provides insights and guidance for those interested in understanding how art museums function and the role research plays within these complex institutions. It offers a timely resource for museum professionals, scholars, students, artists, and community members seeking to explore how art museums can continue to make the most of their unique resources while becoming more collaborative and inclusive.
