The book uniquely brings together artists, curators, art historians, and users to explore the strategies for non-canonical and creative fostering of the museum as a public space for dialogue and transformation in the postcolonial era. Combining theoretical reflections on the histories of the museum with recent case studies, "Museums After Modernism" goes beyond current museology and reconsiders the strategies of engagement with what the museum could be "after modernism." |
