Book

The explicit material : inquiries on the intersection of curatorial and conservation cultures

Hèolling, Hanna, editor, Bewer, Francesca G. (Francesca Gabrielle), 1960- editor, Ammann, Katharina, editor

Overview

\"The Explicit Material gathers varied perspectives from the discourses of conservation, curation and humanities disciplines to focus on aspects of heritage transmission and material transitions. The authors observe and explicate the myriad transformations that works of different kinds -- manuscripts, archaeological artefacts, video art, installations, performances, film, and built heritage -- may undergo: changing contexts, changing matter, changing interpretations and display. Focusing on the vibrant materiality of artworks and artefacts, The Explicit Material puts an emphasis on objects as complex constructs of material relations. By so doing, it announces a shift in sensibilities and understandings of the significance of objects and the materials they are made of, and on the increasingly blurred boundaries between the practices of conservation and curation\"-- Provided by publisher.
