Medialities
Cultural, social and economic production is always medially constituted, since it is formed through processing, storage and transmission of certain data or materials. This is why the concept of mediality can be used to stress the performative character of all culture, whose multiplicity of techniques conversely interacts with the mediality in question. The contributors focus on a given cultural medium's genuine structure as a particular deployment without falling into some kind of hardware determinism, therefore considering culture beyond textuality.
The Future of Museums
This book explores―at the macro, meso and micro levels and in terms of qualitative as well as quantitative studies―the current and future role of museums for art and society. Given the dynamic developments in art and society, museums need to change in order to remain (and in some ways, regain) relevance. This relevance is in the sense of a power to influence. Additionally museums have challenges that arise in the production of art through the use of permanent and rapidly changing technologies. This book examines how museums deal with the increasing importance of performance art and social interactive art, artistic disciplines which refuse to use classical or digital artistic media in the...
It’s all Mediating
It’s all Mediating: Outlining and Incorporating the Roles of Curating and Education in the Exhibition Context brings together thinkers and practitioners in the fields of exhibition curating and gallery education from different corners of Europe. The publication explores the two core functions of museums: exhibiting of the content and educational activities directed to audiences. These areas of activity – both committed to “mediating” between art and its audience – have existed since the birth of the public museum, but, as the result of professionalisation and specialisation of the museum field, they have developed into separate professions and have become the responsibility of spec...
Classical Concert Studies
Classical Concert Studies: A Companion to Contemporary Research and Performance is a landmark publication that maps out a new interdisciplinary field of Concert Studies, offering fresh ways of understanding the classical music concert in the twenty-first century. It brings together essays, research articles, and case studies from scholars and music professionals including musicians, music managers, and concert designers. Gathering both historical and contemporary cases, the contributors draw on approaches from sociology, ethnology, musicology, cultural studies, and other disciplines to create a rich portrait of the classical concert’s past, present, and future. Based on two earlier volumes published in German under the title Das Konzert (The Concert), and with a selection of new chapters written for the English edition, this companion enables students, researchers, and practitioners in the classical and contemporary music fields to understand this emerging field of research, go beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries and methodologies, and spark a renaissance for the classical concert.
Time and Presence in Art
This volume explores the relationship between temporality and presence in medieval artworks from the third to the sixteenth centuries. It is the first extensive treatment of the interconnections between medieval artworks' varied presences and their ever-shifting places in time. The volume begins with reflections on the study of temporality and presence in medieval and early modern art history. A second section presents case studies delving into the different ways medieval artworks once created and transformed their original viewers' experience of the present. These range from late antique Constantinople, early Islamic Jerusalem and medieval Italy, to early modern Venice and the Low Countries. A final section explores how medieval artworks remain powerful and relevant today. This section includes case studies on reconstructing presence in medieval art through embodied experience of pilgrimage, art historical research and museum education. In doing so, the volume provides a first dialog between museum educators and art historians on the presence of medieval artifacts. It includes contributions by Hans Belting, Keith Moxey, Rika Burnham and others.
Curating Art
Curating Art provides insight into some of the most socially and politically impactful curating of historical and contemporary art since the late 1990s. It offers up a museological framework for understanding watershed developments of curating in art museums. Representing the plurality of theory and practice around the expanded field of relational curating, the book focuses on curating that prioritises the quality of relationships between people and objects, between institutions and people and among people. It has wide international breadth, with particularly strong representation in East and Southeast Asia, including four papers never before translated into English. This Asian cluster illum...

Queer Curating - Zum Moment kuratorischer Störung
Dieses Buch ist für alle, die mutig genug sind, sich selbst und das Zeigen von Kunst zu stören. Beatrice Miersch entwirft radikal-relationale Alternativen zu zeitgenössischen Ausstellungspraktiken. Um sich der gesellschaftlichen Verantwortung im Rahmen des Ausstellens von Kunst zu stellen, erprobt sie queer-feministische, kulturwissenschaftliche und selbstreflektierende Methoden in der Praxis und Theorie des Kuratierens. Momente kuratorischer Störung werden zu produktiv-schöpferischen Momenten der Unterbrechung, mit denen sie reflektierte, offene, engagierte und vulnerable Perspektiven auf das Ausstellen eröffnet und tradierte Strukturen durchbricht.
Museum der Vermittlung
Das Buch beschäftigt sich mit Kulturvermittlung als Beruf. Der Text zeichnet die Geschichte des Arbeitsgebietes nach und versucht, diese in Relation zur Entwicklung der Institution Museum und ihrer Rolle in der Gesellschaft zu setzen. Er beschreibt, wie es zu den unterschiedlichen Bezeichnungen von Museumspädagogik bis Kulturvermittlung kam und widmet sich inhaltlichen Tendenzen und Strömungen im Feld. Die Arbeit befasst sich mit der Etablierung einer eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Theorie für das Fach der Kulturvermittlung sowie den vorherrschenden Forschungsschwerpunkten und dokumentiert den Prozess der Formulierung eines Berufsbildes. Die Illustrationen stammen von Valerie Tiefenbacher.
Kunstpädagogik und ...
Kunstpädagogik ist eine wissenschaftliche Disziplin mit vielen Facetten und Berührungspunkten. Die Beiträge des Sammelbandes sind ein Versuch, das vielfältige Fach durch Überschneidungen und Abgrenzungen zu anderen Disziplinen neu zu konturieren. Aus Perspektive der Philosophie, Architektur, Literatur, Kunstgeschichte, Kunstvermittlung, der künstlerischen Praxis und der Kunstpädagogik untersuchen die Autor:innen Gemeinsamkeiten und Anknüpfungspunkte. Zentrale Bezugspunkte der Beiträge sind dabei die verschiedenen Positionen zur Theorie und Praxis der Kunstpädagogik. Die Autor:innen zeigen, wie stark die Diskurse von den berufsbiografischen Perspektiven, den persönlichen Blicken der Akteur:innen, ihren wissenschaftlichen und künstlerischen Schwerpunkten beeinflusst werden. Mit diesen Betrachtungen eröffnet der Band eine Alternative zu den "Richtungen" der Kunstpädagogik, die als fest umrissene "Positionen" einiger Protagonist:innen in der Kunstpädagogik teilweise nebeneinander existieren. Die Beiträge machen die Differenz der unterschiedlichen Positionen nachvollziehbar und geben Raum für die Entwicklung didaktischer Theorien.
