Protests of museum funding (for example, the Metropolitan Museum accepting Sackler family money) and boards (for example, the Whitney appointing tear gas manufacturer Warren Kanders) - to say nothing of demonstrations over exhibitions and artworks - have roiled cultural institutions across the world, from the Guggenheim Abu Dhabi to the Akron Art Museum. At the same time, never have there been more calls for museums to work for social change, calls for the emergence of a new role for culture. As director of the Queens Museum, Laura Raicovich helped turn that New York municipal institution into a public commons for art and activism, organizing high-powered exhibitions that were also political protests. Then in January, 2018, she resigned, after a dispute with the Queens Museum board and city officials became a public controversy - she had objected to the Israeli government using the museum for an event featuring vice president Mike Pence. In this book, Raicovich explains some of the key museum flashpoints, and she also provides historical context for the current controversies. She shows how art museums arose as colonial institutions bearing an ideology of neutrality that masks their role in upholding capitalist values. And she suggests how museums can be reinvented to serve better, public ends."--Dust jacket. 650 0 $a Art museums $x Political aspects. 600 10 $a Raicovich, Laura, $d 1973- 610 20 $a Queens Museum (2013- ) 650 0 $a Protest movements. 650 0 $a Art and social action. 650 0 $a Museums and community. 650 0 $a Multiculturalism. 650 0 $a Culture conflict $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Politics and culture $x Social aspects. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117012355.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20210825010044.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B5AE54F4056911ECB499C0A930ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
