With austerity cuts to public funding, many contemporary art
museums have been forced to scale down their budgets, staff and
acquisitions. In "Radical Museology," New York-based art historian
Claire Bishop argues that the incommensurability of fiscal and
cultural temporality--one fast, the other slower--points to an
alternative world of values in which museums (and by extension,
culture, education and democracy in general) are not subject to the
banalities of a spreadsheet, but enable us to access a rich and
diverse history, to question the present and to realize a different
future. She discusses creative solutions implemented at the Van
Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, the Museo Nacional de Reina Sofia in
Madrid and MSUM in Ljubljana. This book is a manifesto for the
importance of a politicized representation of the contemporary in
today's art.
