Museum Storage and Meaning
Author: Mirjam Brusius
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1351659421
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 291
Book Description
Beyond their often beautiful exhibition halls, many museums contain vast, hidden spaces in which objects may be stored, conserved, or processed. Museums can also include unseen archives, study rooms, and libraries which are inaccessible to the public. This collection of essays focuses on this domain, an area that has hitherto received little attention. Divided into four sections, the book critically examines the physical space of museum storage areas, the fluctuating historical fortunes of exhibits, the growing phenomenon of publicly visible storage, and the politics of objects deemed worthy of collection but unsuitable for display. In doing so, it explores issues including the relationship between storage and canonization, the politics of collecting, the use of museum storage as a form of censorship, the architectural character of storage space, and the economic and epistemic value of museum objects. Essay contributions come from a broad combination of museum directors, curators, archaeologists, historians, and other academics.

Forgotten Voices
Author: Katy J. Smith
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Young Adult Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
About the Book In 1912–1913 West Virginia, a coalfield strike was called to organize the miners. Evicted from their company homes, many moved to a nearby town, swelling the population from fewer than 300 to over 3,000. They refused to return to work, choosing to live in coarse tents, the only shelter available. Ten months into the strike, a coal operator commissioned an armored train to shoot up the sleeping community late one night. The Gallagher family lived through the event. Young Valentina, angered over the ruthlessness of the coal operators and the death and destruction from the escalating violence, wanted to help create a change for her family and friends. She often defied her parents and worked to bring the nation’s eyes to the travesty of a group of people whose voices were being overlooked and forgotten. But what could a 13-year-old girl do to try to create change? Valentina’s story is fiction. However, it is based upon the events that occurred in what is recognized as the longest labor dispute in American history. About the Author Katy J. Smith is a retired elementary school teacher in West Virginia. She is also a National Board Certified Teacher in Reading and Literacy. She and her husband live in Montgomery and Huntington, and they have one daughter and two grandchildren. Katy is the daughter of a coal miner and enjoys her family legacy of coal mining and all things Appalachia. Her hobbies include reading, writing, cooking, and traveling.

Grand Design
Author: Elizabeth A. H. Cleland
Publisher: Metropolitan Museum of Art
ISBN: 0300208057
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
Pieter Coecke van Aelst (1502 – 1550) was renowned throughout Renaissance Europe as a draftsman, painter, and publisher of architectural treatises. The magnificent tapestries he designed were acquired by the wealthiest clients of the day, up to and including rulers such as Emperor Charles V, King Francis I of France, King Henry VIII of England, and Grand Duke Cosimo I de’ Medici of Tuscany. At the same time, Coecke was remarkable not only for the complexity and unparalleled quality of his tapestries, but also for his fluency in various media: this lavishly illustrated volume examines the full range of his work, from tapestry and stained-glass window designs to panel paintings, prints, drawings, and architectural treatises. Though only forty-eight when he died, Coecke was one of the greatest Netherlandish artists of the sixteenth century. His paintings and drawings, initially wrought in the style of the Antwerp Mannerists, evolved through his enthusiastic response to Italian Renaissance design, and influenced generations of artists in his wake. This comprehensive study explores Coecke’s stylistic development, as well as his substantial contribution to the body of great Renaissance art in Flanders. Featuring twenty monumental tapestries, along with many of their cartoons and preparatory sketches, plus seven paintings, additional drawings, and printed matter—many of them newly photographed for this volume—Grand Design provides a thorough reappraisal of Coecke’s work, amply justifying the high regard in which Coecke’s work was held and its wide dissemination long after his death.
