I have written a review of András Szántó’s excellent volume of essays, Imagining the Future of the Museum, in this month’s Burlington Magazine.
Unfortunately, the review is only available to subscribers or to those who have access to a copy in a library. The gist of my view is as follows: ‘There is much to admire in this attitude of energetic experiment and the mood of criticism and questioning, which is evident throughout the volume. It is clear that architects, perfectly understandably, are interested in the creation of museums that are as much about the idea of civic and community space as they are about looking at, and learning from, works of art’.
Have you looked at Sylvia Lahav’s book, ‘Curating, Interpretations and Museums’?
No, I will. Charles
