Latest News: Interactive event to challenge views on museum culture
Conceptions of what museum and gallery collections can tell us will be challenged at an event to be held in the University of Leicester School of Museum Studies, internationally acclaimed for the world-class quality of its research.
Materiality and Intangibility: Contested Zones, organised and run by PhD students, will take place on Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th December, and seeks to attract doctoral students and early-career researchers of Museology and allied subject areas, as well as practising artists, musicians, writers and designers working with, or inspired by, museums and collections.
A spokesperson for the PhD committee organizing the event commented: Museums and galleries are all about the material world; the preservation and display, presentation and interpretation of things to their audiences, which can include everything from everyday objects to works of art and human remains.
