Zandra Ahl in book about artists work in museums

The book “Artists Work in Museums: Histories, Interventions, Subjectivities” features among others the Konstfack Professor Zandra Ahl. The book brings together artists, historians and museum professionals.

The book brings together artists, historians and museum professionals to explore the history and contribution of artists working in museums as members of staff.

It examines how the museum has functioned as a specific site of cultural production and subjective engagement for artists and designers in their role as directors, curators, project managers, and educators.

Drawing on specific case studies and interviews, the essays document the historically contingent, problematic character of the artist museum professional, and his/her agency within the museum system.

The book is available in bookshops at the end of October 2013.
