Author: Paola Antonelli, Christina Moushoul
Examining the many forms of productive gatherings, from formal conferences and roundtables to impromptu rallies and raves, this volume celebrates what is gained when we come together in physical space and walk away with unintended outcomes, insights and wisdom. Launched in 2012 and helmed by the visionary Paola Antonelli, MoMA Research & Development explores the potential and responsibility of museums as public actors and as a testing ground for ideas. The R&D Salons, which have brought together over 400 contributors to date, generate a lively discussion that not only informs the museum and its programming, but also a wider conversation in the outside world, acting as both crucibles and catalysts for new ways of thinking and doing in cultural institutions. This volume combines new essays with highlights from the extensive MoMA R&D Salon archive, looking both backward and forward to tackle topics as diverse as Revolution, Hair, Anger, Dogs, Gastrodiplomacy and Death.
ISBN 9781941753927. Inventory Press. pb. 368 pages. 9.3 x 6 in.
