  • Transcript of Conversation Between Deanna Bowen, Pamela Edmonds, Selina Mudavanhu Mcmaster Museum of Art February 6, 2020
    Transcript of Conversation between Deanna Bowen, Pamela Edmonds, Selina Mudavanhu McMaster Museum of Art February 6, 2020 Pamela Edmonds: Hi, I'm Pamela Edmonds, the new curator here at the MMA can everyone hear me okay? I'm not mic’d, but seems so. Thank you for joining us tonight, coming out in the bitter cold for tonight's event You know it's truly representing Black History Month, right? The coldest day, coldest month, but we're here to delve into and unpack some of the ideas around Deanna Bowen's incredible exhibition here, a Harlem Nocturne, which was curated by Kimberly Phillips of the Contemporary Art Gallery in Vancouver. And very happy to have Dr. Selina Mudavanhu here from McMaster Communication and Media Studies also and delve into some of the ideas around the exhibition and further on. And so, this exhibition will be touring going to next to Montreal then Halifax maybe others ... and Banff, which is very exciting. Firstly, I'd also like to recognize that we're gathered on the traditional tour of territories of the Mississauga and the Haudenosaunee nations and within the lands protected by the dish with one spoon wampum agreement. And I think also given the current moment in this country it's important, and I say dare I say urgent, to think about the ways that each of us are connected to land and space and place, whether we're settlers or not and how we can think about making the reality of Truth and Reconciliation real in all of our communities.

  • Museum Activism
    MUSEUM ACTIVISM Only a decade ago, the notion that museums, galleries and heritage organisations might engage in activist practice, with explicit intent to act upon inequalities, injustices and environmental crises, was met with scepticism and often derision. Seeking to purposefully bring about social change was viewed by many within and beyond the museum community as inappropriately political and antithetical to fundamental professional values. Today, although the idea remains controversial, the way we think about the roles and responsibilities of museums as knowledge- based, social institutions is changing. Museum Activism examines the increasing significance of this activist trend in thinking and practice. At this crucial time in the evolution of museum thinking and practice, this ground-breaking volume brings together more than fifty contributors working across six continents to explore, analyse and critically reflect upon the museum’s relationship to activism. Including contribu- tions from practitioners, artists, activists and researchers, this wide-ranging examination of new and divergent expressions of the inherent power of museums as forces for good, and as activists in civil society, aims to encourage further experimentation and enrich the debate in this nascent and uncertain field of museum practice. Museum Activism elucidates the largely untapped potential for museums as key intellectual and civic resources to address inequalities, injustice and environmental challenges. This makes the book essential reading for scholars and students of museum and heritage studies, gallery studies, arts and heritage management, and politics. It will be a source of inspiration to museum practitioners and museum leaders around the globe. Robert R. Janes is a Visiting Fellow at the School of Museum Studies , University of Leicester, UK, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus of Museum Management and Curatorship, and the founder of the Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice.

  • COMMON THREAD a Project Proposal by Liesje Van Den Berk (NL) & Vessna Perunovich (CA /SR) & Sabine Oosterlynck (BE)
    COMMON THREAD a project proposal by liesje van den berk (NL) & vessna perunovich (CA /SR) & sabine oosterlynck (BE) COMMON THREAD A project proposal by liesje van den berk (NL) & vessna perunovich (CA /SR) & sabine oosterlynck (BE) Liesje van den Berk Vessna Perunovich sabine oosterlynck Artists, sabine oosterlynck (Belgium), vessna perunovich (Canada /Serbia) and liesje van den berk (The Netherlands) met each other in Berlin, Germany during the Performance art studies PAS #20 “in context”. From the very beginning of their relationship they found a strong connection to each other both personally as well as through their respective art practices. They began the intense exchange of thoughts and ideas and from the onset, several strong connections become apparent in their work: the use of line and its trajectory, the notion of mobility, the use of space and the performative / process based approach to art making. Using materials such as elastic string, labels, tape and graphite to develop and create their artworks and performances, all three artists refer to the body and its connection to the site-specific character of the exhibiting space as well as to the context of larger social, cultural and political networks and relationships. Their proposed collaborative project ‘Common Thread’ intends to explore avenues of connectivity and participation as a way of making sense of the increasingly confusing, tenuous and divided world we live in. In their performance based research they are tracing and mapping a memory of displacements, presence, cultural interference and human interfaces. These interactions are reduced to simple materials as labels, thread, dust, void, bodies and lines.
