Absence and Difficult Knowledge in Contemporary Art Museums

By Margaret Tali

Book Overview

This book analyzes practices of collecting in European art museums from 1989 to the present, arguing that museums actualize absence both consciously and unconsciously, while misrepresentation is an outcome of the absent perspectives and voices of minority community members which are rarely considered in relation to contemporary art.
