Summary

"With contributions from artists, scholars and curators, this book examines how exhibitions not only reflect but can also challenge and reshape a museum's relevance to its audience. Artistic critiques have long revealed the gendered, classed and colonial power structures embedded within institutions. Recently, however, there has been a shift toward institutional self-critique, with even major museum increasingly addressing their practices and narratives in public dialogue with audiences. By integrating historical context with contemporary analysis, Symbolic Machines explores these transformations and shows how museums and exhibitions can actively engage with societal change"-- Provided by publisher.
