With its traditional core tasks of collection and conservation, this historic category stands in contrast to the term "contemporary." This volume takes a variety of complementary perspectives on today's museology as it reflects upon the paradoxes underlying the very concept of the museum of contemporary art. Composed of three chapters"Now," "Tomorrow," and "Flux"and gathering together original essays, extensive conversations, as well as canonical texts, this anthology addresses questions regarding the roles and tasks of the contemporary art museum. It discusses its double character as a site of both production and conservation, and emphasizes its relation to different public spheres. It also explores ways of dealing with the standards, norms, and regulations that emerge from the practices of collecting, organizing, and educating.

Softcover. Zustand: Sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z : 21 x 27,5 cm, cloth binding, 252 Seiten/pages, 36 color & 82 b/w illustrations - During the summer months of 2011, the Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst sculpture project "The Garden of Forking Paths" was a guest on the Froh Ussicht estate, owned by the Blum family, in Samstagern, Zurich. The project alluded to the "Sacro Bosco" in Bomarzo (Italy), the enchanted Renaissance garden, which features sculptures shrouded in mystery and eccentric architecture that over time became overgrown (so-called "follies"). In this context, the invited artists Pablo Bronstein, Liz Craft, Ida Ekblad, Geoffrey Farmer, Kerstin Kartscher, Ragnar Kjartansson, Fabian Marti, Peter Regli and Thiago Rocha Pitta created their own fantastic narratives.
