This publication delves into artistic practices and critical thinking that challenge and reinvent the traditional concept of the 'museum'. Featuring a diverse range of case studies, it shows how contemporary artists, curators, and creative art practitioners are reshaping museum models to reflect the values, needs, and aspirations of the communities in which they have emerged. From early 20th-century avant-garde movements to the neo-avant-garde and today's artist-founded museums, the book offers a rich historical perspective. It spans four continents - South America, Europe, Africa, and Asia - presenting visionary approaches and functional museum concepts based on artistic practice. The volume offers fresh insights into how art can transform institutions and reimagine cultural spaces.

  • Alternative, future-oriented, and exploratory visions of the museum
  • A practical toolkit of solutions for fostering functional and socially unbiased museums
