Widersprüche. Kuratorisch Handeln Zwischen Theorie Und Praxis

Contradictions in the museum context

What consequences can criticism of the museum have in the museum? Since the beginning of the 2 st century, critical theories have spread like wildfire in institutional texts and contexts. Feminism, antiracism, environmental politics, institutional critique, inclusion debates, decolonial and queer theories are omnipresent, yet structurally there have been few changes for the better and hard-fought advances in critical vocabulary often degenerate to labels.

Against this backdrop, this book explores the relationships between theory and practice and the associated contradictions in the museum context. It asks how critical theory can become practice. How can critical vocabulary be translated into institutional action? The contributions question overarching structures, but also describe and reflect on personal moments.
