In my opinion this is so important, it needs the very best but also passion because that’s what drives success.

A leaf from a journey's diary - Rethinking museums We understand museums as having a determinate form and recognise them as containers with contents inside. For the historic European museum this is even more so the case. Can’t it be different and, if we can change it, how might it look? The splendidly beautiful porcelain works of Chinese artist Lei Xue would be a good analogy to explain possible or likely futures for the historic European museum. Lei Xue has created a contemporary blend of tradition and modern consumption aesthetics by combining traditional Chinese porcellain techniques with soda-can forms. As tradition is grafted onto everyday consumption objects so can our understanding of the past be shaped by contemporary values. As traditional craftsmanship and materials are shaped into objects inspired by throw-aways from every day life so can the historic European museum reinvent intself in the contemporary. Let’s not forget that museums need artists not just to present them to their publics but to help them reinvent themselves. #innovatingthepast #historicmaterials #contemporarynarratives

While exciting fairs such as Art Genève, NOMAD St. Moritz and Frieze LA are scheduled for January and February, the first two months of the year are rather slow in terms of truly important art market events with the first major auctions taking place in March and the Venice Biennale starting in April. Read our short report to get an overview of the global art market’s schedule over the coming months. #diversification #artinvestment #arteducation #alternativeassets

Impressive to say the least. Ergonomics and style beautifully merged to create a Statement.

It's easy to overlook a piece of art when surrounded by many other artworks, especially when it's this small! 🧐 This red-figure squat oil flask (lekythos) decorated with a swan is one of those pieces. It's these types of pieces where you have to ask yourself, "Why is it so small? Did they really only put oil in this thing? And what's the significance of the swan?" Ask these questions! Engage with the art and start the conversation, maybe you'll get new insight. 😉🦢 Attica, Greece; Classical period, ca. 450-400 BCE Ceramic vessel Tampa Museum of Art, Joseph Veach Noble Collection, 1986.082

📝 How to Cite a Physical Location or Event in MLA Style 🌍 Did you know you can cite real-world places and events in MLA format too? Whether it’s a historic site, an art exhibit, or a concert, MLA has you covered! Here's how to do it: Format: Description or Title of Event. Title of Container, Date of Event, Location. 👉 Example: Van Gogh Art Exhibit. The Met Museum, 10 Aug. 2024, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City. Keep in mind: Use italics for the container (e.g., museum, venue). Include the full date and location details. 🎯 Pro Tip: If it’s part of a larger event, include that in your citation as the container! #MLAStyle #CitingSources #AcademicTips #MLAFormat

Part of what makes a house museum so intriguing is not the expected, on-theme collections, but the oddities. The objects that stand out and make an impact just for being so very different from the rest of a collection. Delving into the stories of the quirkiest objects is insightful and sometimes silly, providing real context to the people who built and inhabited these homes. From objects to architectural details, explore 10 quirky items at different Historic Artists' Homes and Studios and National Trust Historic Sites across the country. https://ow.ly/Oqxk50Ts4kq
