What new stories can be told when everything remains the same in museum culture? The changing of an exhibition doesn’t signal the changing of attitudes in our art institutions. Many times, old ways of doing things impede the progress the visitors, donors, and many times board members push for. A place like the Smithsonian has a strict set of guidelines for presentation to the public so we expect a certain feeling of academia, history, and research when we enter those spaces. But public and even private museums must do better with their presentation of people, values, and opportunity to enact a true culture shift. https://lnkd.in/gKJTxPMd

An insightful piece on museums and the experiences of Africans enslaved in the United States, particularly in New England from Erika Slocumb, MS, an emerging expert on this topic: "How can historic house museums interpret important content when those events did not unfold on-site? Using several historic house museums as case studies, we consider how–and importantly, why–to address stories of enslavement and freedom, including the ties many wealthy northerners had with slave economies, and the lived experience of formerly enslaved people and their descendants in the communities that surround these sites."

FADA Gallery invites you to the exhibition titled,  IN/VISIBLE The 2024 Creative Output exhibition “In/Visible” offers a useful register with which to engage an array of current works by staff of the Faculty of Art, Design & Architecture (FADA). It’s generally taken for granted that the production, appreciation and dissemination of art – via channels such as books, galleries, museums and the internet – is primarily predicated on notions of the visible, the visual and the tangible. There’s nothing wrong with this assumption. Indeed, without multiplicities of visuality, the world of art would stand to lose a great deal. As important as the visible may be, the invisible is a critical and easily overlooked layer for the thinking and making of art and its attendant provocations.  

Inside Out: Representing the Romantic Museum is a collaboration between Sophie Thomas, Rhys Juergenson, and Erin McCurdy of the Toronto Metropolitan University and York University Communication & Culture- Joint Graduate Program at Toronto Metropolitan University & York University The exhibition examines how #museum spaces were conceptualized and visually represented in two-dimensional media forms, drawing examples principally from metropolitan #London. Many of the museums of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century no longer exist. However, prints and paintings, often reproduced in #gallery guides, #periodicals, and ephemera, are valuable sources of information about the objects that they contained: from oddities and marvels to natural history specimens and revered #artworks. Such images also document the arrangement of objects and the display strategies employed by collectors and museums, as well as the visual idioms—and aesthetic categories—they used to capture and ‘frame’ their interiors. The contents of collections, and the manner in which they were presented to the world, closely reflect predominant paradigms for the organization of knowledge, which were undergoing significant change in the #Romantic period. The exhibition explores how public institutions and independent #collectors, in both public and private exhibition spaces, represented natural history, human biology, emerging technologies, and #archaeological discoveries, and how these displays were, in turn, represented by #artists. https://lnkd.in/gDGumeFa
