Museums from the Inside. 60 years of CIMAM
Produktbeschreibung
On the occasion of its 60-year celebration CIMAM, the international committee for museums, its directors, and curators, publishes Museums from the Inside, designed by Rogier Delfos and edited by Saskia Bos, which brings together interviews with museum directors, artists, curators, and collectors from across the globe who were closely involved with the organisation over the years or gave talks at the yearly conferences. From Suzanne Pagé and Rudi Fuchs, via David Elliott, Toshio Hara, Maria de Corral, and Ken Lum to Manolo Borja-Villel and Patricia Phelps de Cisneros, this publication contains more than twenty interviews giving an insider's look at the 60 years in which modern art changed to post-modern art, and the term contemporary art, in turn, looked almost obsolete.Who knew that in 1969 fierce debates were held between those who wanted to keep the museum as a temple and others who wished it to be a laboratory? That museum directors in the early seventies censored shows because they criticized their own trustees? That CIMAM only reached Asia in 1994 and did not formally meet in Africa until the present day?A selection of important texts written since 2005 on decolonization, on 'arte util', and on indigenous art gives insight into more recent fields of research.A historical introduction is written by Mami Kataoka, art historian, and curator, President of CIMAM and director of Mori Museum Tokyo, and Saskia Bos, art historian, and curator, Board member of CIMAM, former director of De Appel Amsterdam, and former Dean of The School of Art at the Cooper Union, New York.
