Travel, Art and Collecting in South Asia questions what are ideas
of vertiginous collecting, art-making and museums as expanded
fields, including wonder houses and missionary museums (or
museobuses) in Britain and South Asia. If the historiography of
British India has privileged photography and the 'Imperial
Picturesque', the emphasis here is on the formation of a creole
modernity, one that considers the relationship between art and
labour, including pearlescence and pearl fishing in Sri Lanka, and
the iconoclastic/fetish debates and forms of collecting amongst
missionaries. Eaton explores these themes alongside the genealogies
and modernities of white(ness) in contemporary curating and amateur
female practice, and how the museobus or museum as a unique object
has informed the work of contemporary artist group Raqs Media
Collective. This book will be of interest to scholars in art
history, Asian history, and imperial and colonial history.
