Curatorial Practice
Permalink: https://www.eventscribe.com/2019/AAMers/fsPopup.asp?mode=presInfo&PresentationID=490063
Over the past three decades, there has been an undue distinction in museum practices often represented in linear terms: your museum is at one end (object-based) or the other (audience-based), or somewhere in between. This has manifested as a divisive discussion about visitor-centered practices taking the place of object- and expertise-oriented curation. In this session, examine those positions historically, and discover an approach to provoke visitor- and object-centered practices through a three-dimensional model rather than a linear one. Use this new model to help your museum map its own position.
