à Montréal
Moderation: Nora Sternfeld, Professor of Art Education, HFBK Hamburg, /ecm Directors's team
This
presentation is part of a research project entitled "Investigative Museology." At the crossroads of art history, museology,
curatorial studies, and anthropology, this research documents and analyzes the trajectory of artworks through an approach
inspired by forensic investigative methods. Specifically, I examine how artworks are handled, exhibited and displaced throughout
their history.
How are they presented, and for what purposes? Under what circumstances
do they travel from one country to another to be displayed in various museums and contexts worldwide? How and why do artworks
cross geographical borders, engage in geopolitical conflicts, and undergo transformations as a result of these interactions?
I will focus on two investigations that were the subject of exhibitions, as well as the work of artists such as Simon Starling,
who also inherently employs investigative methods.
