Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - An investigation into an oft-overlooked issue in the field of cultural conservation: the architecture of storage spaces Published with vis-à-vis series. Museums and archival collections are so vast that only a fraction can be shown at one time. The majority of stored objects will never or very seldom be presented to a wider audience. In recent years, visible and visitable storage strategies have gained traction with museums. Increasing the accessibility of reserve collections coincides with these museums' newfound commitment to institutional transparency and public accountability for the objects in their care. Keeping Culture explores the scope, scale and significance of contemporary cultural storage facilities, providing new insights into their implications for collecting, conservation and for the broader understanding of cultural heritage. It also brings the field's current interest in visible and open storage design into dialogue with the spatial evolution and programmatic disruptions that have defined the history of museums, as well as the architectural experiments that have accompanied the cultural work of keeping things.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - To PhD or not to PhD: reflections from 30 artists-turned-doctoral candidatesIn the last three decades, creative practice disciplines, such as art, design, architecture, creative writing, fashion and others, have undergone a 'research turn,' strongly stimulated by doctoral programs to deepen artists' reflections on the roots, relevance and urgencies of their work. For Thinking Back, Making Forward, the editors issued an open call to ask artists, spanning disciplines and nationalities, how PhD research has influenced their making and thinking. Through its 30 contributions, the book tackles these questions in an open way, addressing equally the advantages and disadvantages of the creep of the PhD into artistic practice. Each essay delves into the personal experiences of the artist-academic, who discloses their creative, material and professional motivations for pursuing a doctorate. Whether driven by mentorship, archival access, structure, funding or a professorship, all of the contributors provide candid, in-depth reflections of their time in academia.…
