This volume provides a state-of-the art overview of the field of
more-than-human studies, bringing together contemporary and
essential content from leading authors across the discipline. With
attention to the intellectual history of the field, its
developments and extensions, its applications and its significance
to contemporary society, it presents empirical studies and
theoretical work covering long established disciplines, as well as
new writing on art, history, politics, planning, architecture,
research methodology and ethics. An elaboration of the various
dimensions of more-than-human studies, The Routledge International
Handbook of More-than-Human Studies constitutes essential reading
for anyone studying or researching in this field
Anti-Museum charts the development of the anti-museum as a concept
and as it has been realised in practice. Drawing on a range of case
studies, including the New Museum and PS1 in New York, Mona in
Australia, Art42 in Paris and Donald Judd's Marfa, the book
assesses their potential to engage museum publics in new ways.
Anti-museums seek to breathe relational and theatricalised vitality
into the objects they exhibit, by connecting them to the contexts
of their making, to their social life outside the museum, to
visitors' lives via their transformative capacities for change, and
by being a place of dialogue, exchange and transformation, rather
than instruction. Documenting the ways in which they have been
created by artists, collectors, and curators, the book also
examines the extent to which anti-museums connect with other
museums through the exchange of values and resources. Critically,
it asks whether, after some 40 years of 'new museology', such
institutions are still able to offer something fresh and valuable.
Anti-Museum provides a sharp and incisive account of the
anti-museum as it has been imagined, realised and experienced, and
as it has relevance for understanding and working in the
contemporary museum world. As such, the book will be of great
interest to scholars and students engaged in the study of museums,
cultural economy, inclusive urban regeneration, the democratisation
of art and contemporary art. It should also appeal to museum
professionals around the world.

1950s, or Memphis design from the 1980s. Covering popular periods
such as art nouveau, industrial, art deco, retro, and modern, this
is an ideal companion for both serious collectors and those who
want a glimpse into the world of 20th-century design.
