Rethinking Research in the Art Museum
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-23786-5 (ISBN)
Arguing for a more democratic formulation in tune with the current needs and ambitions of the art institution, Emily Pringle puts forward a framework for practitioner-led, co-produced research that redefines how knowledge is created in the museum. Recognising that museums today negotiate multiple agendas, the book outlines the value of constructing the art museum professional as a practitioner researcher and their work as a mode of practice-based research, be they educators, archivists, curators or conservators. Locating these arguments within the framework of new museology, critical pedagogy, professional and organisational studies and epistemology, the book offers insights and guidance for those interested in how art museums function and the role research plays within these complex institutions.
Rethinking Research in the Art Museum provides a timely and important resource for museum professionals and scholars, students, artists and community members. It should be of particular interest to those invested in exploring how art museums can continue to make the most of their unique resources, whilst becoming more collaborative, inclusive and relevant to the twenty-first century.
Emily Pringle trained originally as a painter and worked freelance for several years as an artist, educator, researcher and programmer before joining Tate in 2010. In 2014 she established the Tate Research Centre: Learning (www.tate.org.uk/research/research-centres/tate-research-centre-learning). In 2017 she was awarded an AHRC Leadership Fellowship, which allowed her to take ten months away from Tate to explore and write on art museum research. She is currently Head of Research at Tate.
