Contemporary Art and the Display of Ancient Egypt
Beyond the illusion of dialogue--how contemporary art in Egyptian galleries is curated and controlled. Contemporary art installations in Egyptian galleries are often framed as dialogues between past and present--but what if they are, instead, shaped by the museum itself? Contemporary Art and the Display of Ancient Egypt argues that both contemporary and ancient works are mediated through the structures and ideologies of the museum space. In this seminal work, Alice Stevenson examines how artists' work influences museum discourse and public engagement with ancient artifacts. Drawing on case studies from the British Museum, the Egyptian Museum in Turin, and the State Museum of Egyptian Art in Munich, this book assesses the motivations behind these interventions and their lasting impact. Through an evidence-based approach, Stevenson offers new insights into how curators, scholars, and artists can collaborate to create more meaningful and politically engaged museum experiences. Of particular interest to Egyptologists, museum professionals, and contemporary art scholars, this work redefines the role of artistic intervention in shaping our understanding of ancient cultures.

The Art of Sensorial Language
The Art of Sensorial Language examines audience interactivity and multisensory experiences that can be understood internationally and cross-culturally. It considers interactivity not as a technological mode of interaction but as a direct and immediate communication between the audience and the performers, which takes place in person and in which all participants are in contact with each other. By describing theatrical techniques and approaches for organically immersing the audience in the story, this book shows how the development of these methods is also applicable to multisensory presentations for museums and galleries. The author places particular emphasis on the development of scents and their uses for cultural and educational purposes to allow for greater and deeper immersion in an event or installation. Inspired by the work of Enrique Vargas, the inventor of sensorial language, the discussion reveals how this approach not only engages the senses but also integrates additional methods and tools to create a poetic symphony, which is particularly important for enriching user experiences in theatres, galleries and museums, as well as in other forms of immersive experiences.This study will be of great interest to experts in multisensory approaches within the fields of the arts and education, as well as specialists in cultural heritage and tourism.
Socially Engaged Art and Ethics
Bringing together artists, curators, activists, academics, managers, and educators from around the world, this anthology examines the notion of ethics within socially engaged art. This collection is an ideal text for interdisciplinary courses that place visual arts (including design or performance) within social and political contexts.
Homo Aestheticus
This collection of philosophical fragments presents an aesthetics of existence called the 'Will to Art'. Readers are invited to consider the possibility that the universe is fundamentally an aesthetic phenomenon, understood as a process of creative evolution that is moving, albeit agonistically, towards ever-increasing opportunities for artistic expression and aesthetic experience. In Homo Aestheticus, Samuel Alexander offers an understanding of the human condition when situated in such an aesthetic universe. In presenting his case, Alexander acknowledges debts to Arthur Schopenhauer - for his lucid statement of the problem of pessimism - to Friedrich Nietzsche - for formulating the 'aesthetic justification' of existence - to Friedrich Schiller - for revealing how the origin of humanity's self-awareness was born of the experience of beauty - and to William Morris - for collapsing the distinction between artist and artisan, and for beginning to unpack the ecological and socio-political implications of doing so. By synthesising these traditions in novel ways, Alexander presents an original counter-narrative to the disenchanted materialism that defines modernity.Two premises guide the development of this vision: first, that material sufficiency is all that is needed for human beings to live rich, meaningful, and artful lives; and second, that material sufficiency is all that is possible, over the long term, on a finite planet in an age of environmental limits. Based on those premises, Alexander proposes and defends a conception of ecological civilisation which he calls SMPLCTY. This is an anarcho-communitarian society of poet-farmers that sustainably provides all people with opportunities to find meaning and pleasure through creative labour and aesthetic experience.Further detail on the present work can be found in the much larger companion volume, S M P L C T Y: Ecological Civilisation and the Will to Art (2023), from which the ideas herein have been distilled.'If we are to solve the political problem in practice, [we must] follow the path of aesthetics, since it is through Beauty that we arrive at Freedom.' - Friedrich Schiller
Combating Oppression with New Commemorations
Combating Oppression with New Commemorations examines the ways in which marginalized groups can confront oppressive regimes through commemorations and advocacy of their own heritage.Presenting case studies from across the globe, the volume provides invaluable insights into the diverse strategies and various disciplinary approaches being used to counter oppression through commemorations of the heritage of marginalized groups. Reminding the reader that such commemorations are often created by individuals who have directly confronted traumas of oppression, contributors emphasize that their survivance, successes, and vitality are tributes to human resilience and creativity. Chapters also demonstrate how such commemorations can advance recognition of the group's diverse legacies and cultural identity and help enhance social and economic equities for that population across local, regional, and national scales. It is also made clear that they can provide resources for reconciliation negotiations with other social collectives who seek to oppress the marginalized group. These dynamics can facilitate truth-telling, accountability, recovery of unrecorded histories, revitalization, increments of healing, and efforts to avoid future repetitions of past and present social traumas.Combating Oppression with New Commemorations will be essential reading for academics, and students working in heritage studies, archaeology, anthropology, material culture studies, landscape analysis, and museum studies. It will also be of great interest to practitioners and activists around the world.

Museums and Design Practices
Museums and Design Practices explores the increasingly critical role that design is playing in museums by focusing on how human-centred design approaches are being embraced and incorporated into their work practices.This book advances "design-as-practice" as a way to acknowledge the technosocial dimension of the working culture of cultural organisations. It reveals how designing is a situated phenomenon that enables museums and galleries to respond in a digitally mature way to emerging contexts and challenges of digital transformation. The original thesis forwarded by the authors is reinforced by reflections shared by leading museum practitioners and designers on the complex and multifaceted nature of human-centred practices found in museums and the various ways they function within their organisational working cultures. The infusion of design into all levels of museum practice demonstrates the capacity to transform how museums approach visitor experience, inclusive collaboration, and knowledge sharing in order to build resilience in the face of change and respond to the 'wicked problems' confronting cultural organisations today.Museums and Design Practices is for students and researchers as well as museum practitioners - especially those keen to understand emerging relationships that are forming between digital technology, design and the cultural work of museums. It will also be of interest to researchers and students working in the fields of design, digital culture, and museum studies.

Time and the Everyday in Slow Cinema
Time and the Everyday in Slow Cinema examines the phenomenon of Slow cinema, a style defined by its lingering focus on quotidian activities and extended durations. Rosa Barotsi argues that while the style emerges from a tradition of durational filmmaking and resonates with movements advocating for deceleration, it is also deeply entangled in the structures of late capitalism, creating a dynamic tension between radicalism and conservatism. This book situates the trend between artistic innovation and institutional commodification, ultimately raising critical questions about spectatorship, cinematic time, and the politics of cultural value.

Sampling and Site-Specific Practice in Contemporary Art
In the early 20th century, copying, cutting and pasting entered the Western European avant-garde through collage and readymades, as artists employed found objects and ephemera to create new meaning from existing materials. This book explores how this practice has evolved in contemporary art today, looking at its important and distinct outcomes in the practice of artists such as Andrea Fraser, Douglas Gordon, Isaac Julien, Christian Marclay, Amie Siegel and Christopher Williams. It analyses the pivotal consequences of the interrelationships these artists establish between fragments of culture, from television and film, to internet culture and their artwork's site, where the verb to "sample" has become deeply tied to digital music editing, writing, image production, database searches and social media. Samples take many forms: quotations of other cultural works; replicas of other objects; reenactments of works by other artists; or fragments that are quite literally cut or removed from other works of art, design, or media. Via Bouman's analysis, we visualise the shared frameworks of meaning that underpin these multifaceted, multidimensional and medium-fluid works. Focussing on 'action' and 'form', the book discusses the relationship between the referent and reference, and the citational labor that any sample performs. The distributive sense of authorship that emerges places the audience in a new position of significance. Concepts and themes discussed include: queer and race theory, postproduction and mirroring, mobile site specificity, now-time and dragging, and gender fluidity and Drag King performance, centring sampling as a key form of 21st-century art. With novel insights into the conceptual, material, and aesthetic dimensions of sampling in contemporary culture, the book provides a new critical framework for understanding the complex implications of this practice, as a vital resource for researchers in contemporary art practice and visual culture.

Art and Propaganda During Peronist Argentina
This book chronicles the history of the visual languages developed in Argentina during Peronism, exploring how art and propaganda interacted with and responded to their historical context. At the heart of this study is the term "intentional citations", a framework that advocates for the socio-cultural specificity of Latin American modernist art, in contrast to models that overly rely on European concepts of modernism and the avant-garde. Readers will discover how Argentinian artists cited European artworks to express particular ideas and goals, how Peronist propaganda employed various artistic traditions--including abstraction--for political purposes, and how ideologues rebranded Per籀n and Eva as a formidable ruling couple. This book also examines how the Peronist regime and artists competed for control of the cultural field. Despite their stark political differences, however, both factions pursued similar goals.
