Description

This book provides an in-depth account of the protests that shook France in 1968 and which served as a catalyst to a radical reconsideration of artistic practice that has shaped both art and museum exhibitions up to the present. Rebecca DeRoo examines how issues of historical and personal memory, the separation of public and private domains, and the ordinary objects of everyday life emerged as central concerns for museums and for artists, as both struggled to respond to the protests. She argues that the responses of the museums were only partially faithful to the aims of the activist movements. Museums, in fact, often misunderstood and misrepresented the work of artists that was exhibited as a means of addressing these concerns. Analyzing how museums and critics did and did not address the aims of the protests, DeRoo highlights the issues relevant to the politics of the public display of art that have been central to artistic representation, in France as well as in North America.

This book shows how the protests in France in 1968 affected the museum establishment.
Reviews
'... The Museum Establishment and Contemporary Art is a fluently written, thoroughly researched and engaging book that is laudatory in its demand for art to be understood as political and for the museum to engage with its wider public.' The Art Book
'... DeRoo's chapters are rather elegantly integrated to give a synthetic view of artistic and curatorial strategies in the 1970s ...' Oxford Art Journal

The shipping was just superior

The shipping was just superior; not even one of the books was in contact with the shipping box -anywhere-, not even a corner or the bottom, so all the books arrived in perfect condition. The international shipping took around 2 weeks, so pretty great too.
