Exhibitions as Research contends that museums would be more
attractive to both researchers and audiences if we consider
exhibitions as knowledge-in-the-making rather than platforms for
disseminating already-established insights. Analysing the
theoretical underpinnings and practical challenges of such an
approach, the book questions whether it is possible to exhibit
knowledge that is still in the making, whilst also considering
which concepts of "knowledge" apply to such a format. The book also
considers what the role of audience might be if research is
extended into the exhibition itself. Providing concrete case
studies of projects where museum professionals have approached
exhibition making as a knowledge-generating process, the book
considers tools of application and the challenges that might emerge
from pursuing such an approach. Theoretically, the volume analyses
the emergence of exhibitions as research as part of recent
developments within materiality theories, object-oriented ontology
and participatory approaches to exhibition-making. Exhibitions as
Research will be of interest to academics and students engaged in
the study of museology, material culture, anthropology and
archaeology. It will also appeal to museum professionals with an
interest in current trends in exhibition-making.
