Oftentimes exhibitions tack on access once the artwork has already
been executed and ready to be installed in the museum or gallery.
But what if the artists were to ponder access as an integral and
critical part of their artwork? Can access be creative and
experimental? And furthermore, can the curator also fold access
into their practice, while working collaboratively with artists,
considering it as a theoretical and practical generative force that
seeks to make an exhibition more engaging for a wider diversity of
audiences? This volume includes essays by a growing number of
artists, curators, and scholars who ponder these ideas of ad-hoc,
experimental and underground approaches within exhibition-making
and artistic practices. It considers how, through these nascent
exhibition models and art practices, enhanced experiences of access
in the museum can be a shared responsibility amongst museum
workers, curators, and artists, in tandem with the public, so that
access becomes a zone of intellectual and creative "accommodation,"
rather than strictly a discourse on policy. The book provides
innovative case studies which provide a template for how access
might be implemented by individuals, artists, curators, museum
administrators and educators given the growing need to offer as
many modalities of access as possible within cultural institutions.
This book shows that anyone can be a curator of access and
demonstrates how to approach access in a way that goes beyond
protocol and policy. It will thus be of interest to students and
scholars engaged in the study of museums, art history and visual
culture, disability, culture, and communication.
