Dear List,
Just a short note to share one of our new podcasts, hoping it is of interest:
Clémentine Deliss on the possibility of a post-ethnographic and post-colonial museum
Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/clementine-deliss/capsula
Clémentine Deliss has been Director of the Weltkulturen Museum in Frankfurt since 2010. She studied contemporary art and anthropology and holds a PhD in Philosophy, and has extensive experience as an independent curator in Europe and Africa. She is now directing an institution for the first time – an ethnographic museum that opened over one hundred years ago and is trying to find its reason for being. It is what Deliss calls a sick museum, a permanent condition that needs to be healed.
SON[I]A talks to Deliss about, and about the strategies that she has tested in recent years to counteract the ideology of conservation. These include the 'remediation' of objects in the collection, fieldwork in the museum, and opening up spaces for work, production and research that go beyond storage and exhibition.
This podcast features excerpts from Ben Vida's "Tracers" mix
