Re-Shuffle: Notions of an Itinerant Museum
The Enterprise
Art in General, New York USA
Feb, 24 – Mar, 18, 2006
Are museums necessary? Is the museum still a relevant cultural institution? Do museums support or weaken contemporary artistic practices? May they be altered, replaced, reinvented? How might a museum behave as it transits from one context to the next, mutating in relation to a distinct situation? How might the very idea of transience affect the process of collecting? Or is the actuality of an itinerant museum inherently problematic, a contradiction in terms, a paradox waiting to happen?
Re-Shuffle: Notions of an Itinerant Museum, is a survey about the possibilities for the museums of today and the future and was presented by first-year graduate students at the Center for Curatorial Studies (CCS) at Bard College. Taking the form of a publication-as-exhibition held at Art in General’s Gallery 4 at 79 Walker Street, New York City.
During the exhibtion Pavilion Project’s director Maryse Lariviere contributed to a panel discusion along with Pablo Helguera and Nicolas Guagnini under the title The Next Museum: Versions for the Future.
