About this book
The future of collecting
The book investigates the subject of collecting from a critical perspective that queries and expands on the existing ideas of museums and archives. The approach starts from voices that criticize the absence of items and associations in collections; it then progresses to the discussion of various new collecting strategies.
The point is to take collecting seriously against a trend towards media impact-oriented exhibitions and an "economization" of collections: in order to think differently and afford it a long-term place with a view to democratization, facilitation, relationality, and immateriality.
In addition to theoretical texts and artistic contributions, the publication comprises spotlight-type discussions: statements from experts who curate and create collections – and who critically engage with them.
- An innovative discussion about collections and archives
- Collecting, storing, archiving in theory and in practice
- Statements from numerous international experts who curate and create collections
