This book analyzes practices of collecting in European art museums
from 1989 to the present, arguing that museums actualize absence
both consciously and unconsciously, while misrepresentation is an
outcome of the absent perspectives and voices of minority community
members which are rarely considered in relation to contemporary
art. Difficult knowledge is proposed as a way of dealing with
absence productively. Drawing on social art history, museology,
postcolonial theory, and memory studies, Margaret Tali analyzes the
collections of four modern and contemporary art museums across
Europe: the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin, the Ludwig Museum of
Contemporary Art in Budapest, the Kiasma Museum in Helsinki, and
the Kumu Museum in Tallinn.
