The Constituent Museum

  • Categories: Art

This book offers a diverse, rigorous, and experimental analysis of what is commonly known as education, mediation, or interpretation within museum institutions. It takes the visitor not as a passive receiver of predefined content, but as a member of a constituent body, one who facilitates, provokes, and inspires. The publication situates these practices within the socio-political context and the physical and organisational structure, and attempts to understand this change in an integral, interdisciplinary manner. It addresses such issues as ownership and power dynamics, collective pedagogy, co-curation, crowdsourcing, digital cultivation, activating archives, and more.

Cultural Writing. Poetry. Art. Photography. Film. Marcus Coates is setting off on a journey to the Lower World where he will perform a Siberian Yakut shamanic ritual for the residents of Sheil Park, Liverpool. This book tells the story. Edited by Alec Finlay as a "bookscape," JOURNEY features a DVD of Coates' performance, photographs by Nick David and writings by Mark Wallinger and JJ Charlesworth. About Coates' piece, Wallinger writes: "The work treads a fine line between pathos and bathos. It is touching because it has enacted the fears and vulnerability of audience, which are real enough if ultimately unknowable, and finds its own strange way to an image of hope for them to take away."

Grieved Loss

This shadow always follows his Sunshine. Her life is a carefully crafted lie. For years, I only watch my Sunshine from the shadows; my loyalty to the Bellandis demands nothing less. When her husband is killed, the path is clear for me to step in and claim her for myself. I'll give her a glimpse into the truth. I give Calla and her kids one year to grieve their loss. When the year is over, I pluck them from the grey world she clings to and insert them into the vivid color of my Bellandi life. Even when it hurts, and she rails against me. Rising tensions in my world threaten to steal her away from me, but I won't let anyone take what is mine. Instead, I'll demand every piece of her: her heart, her body. Her soul. And I won't stop until I've taken everything. Grieved Loss is a full-length standalone novel with an HEA, but the series presents a better reading experience when following the suggested reading order.This series contains dark elements, including an over-the-top antihero who does as he pleases. Please read at your own discretion.

Cultural Writing. Art. Visual puns and scrappy textual tricks abound in this vivacious collection by Glasgow based artist and writer Daivd Bellingham. "IDEAS LEAVE OBJECTS STANDING" claims Bellingham, and after perusing through this book which presents a selection of his art pieces, who could argue with him? Using objects and words in various combinations, Bellingham takes a playful approach to convey his ideas ('made rather than found'), which do exactly as the title suggests. The collection includes graphic and typographic work, texts, poems and photographic pieces.
