Once seen as a collection of artifacts and ritual objects, African
art now commands respect from museums and collectors. Bennetta
Jules-Rosette and J.R. Osborn explore the reframing of African art
through case studies of museums and galleries in the United States,
Europe, and Africa. The authors take a three-pronged approach. Part
One ranges from curiosity cabinets to virtual websites to offer a
history of ethnographic and art museums and look at their
organization and methods of reaching out to the public. In the
second part, the authors examine museums as ecosystems and
communities within communities, and they use semiotic methods to
analyze images, signs, and symbols drawn from the experiences of
curators and artists. The third part introduces innovative
strategies for displaying, disseminating, and reclaiming African
art. The authors also propose how to reinterpret the art inside and
outside the museum and show ways of remixing the results. Drawing
on extensive conversations with curators, collectors, and artists,
African Art Reframed is an essential guide to building new
exchanges and connections in the dynamic worlds of African and
global art.
