Abstract or Description

This day considered how the practices of curating, and the rise of the expanded field of the ‘curatorial’ has changed the relation of knowledge, expertise, and interests between the museum and the academy, and their audiences and publics.

The first session considered how the curatorial has disrupted the role and place of art history as the key knowledge field and area of expertise for museum practitioners, and will ask what kind of knowledge, education and skills are now needed by curators working in the contemporary.

With the increasing emphasis on the digital, and research and collaboration between the museum and the academy, the second session discussed what the value of interdisciplinary research has been over the last decade and how it has contributed to the contemprarisation of the museum, particularly in light of the policy and funding focus in the UK on STEM /STEAM agendas, and ‘Grand Challenges’.
