It's about how museums will be - <em>must</em></strong><strong> </strong><em>be</em> - different after Covid-19. About a transformed environment, both social and financial, and museums' total response to it. In a changed and charged reality, deaccessioning is one element of a future in which issues of social justice, inequality, race, pay and decolonisation will impact collections as never before.</strong></p><p>It is part<em> </em>of a major new 950-page resource which draws on the experience and thinking of some of the world's most experienced and respected museum and gallery professionals, with a Foreword by Melody Kanschat and Antoniette M Guglielmo of the Museum Leadership Institute.</p><p>Contributors include: </p><ul><li>Christine Anagnos - Director, AAMD</li><li>Christopher Bedford - Director, Baltimore Museum of Art</li><li>Thomas Campbell - Director, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco- Michael Conforti - Former Director, Clark Art Institute</li><li>Adrian Ellis - Director, AEA Consulting</li><li>Kaywin Feldman - Director, National Gallery of Art</li><li>Linda Harrison - Director, Newark Museum Art</li><li>Glenn Lowry - Director, MoMA </li></ul><p>The three volumes in the collection (available separately) are: </p><ol><li>Conversations with Museum Directors (this book)</li><li>Towards a New Reality </li><li>Case Studies </li></ol><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><strong>Anne Pasternak - Director, Brooklyn Museum</strong></p><p>At last a book that interrogates the role of collections and deaccessions in museums at this crucial time for questioning all orthodoxies and paving a smarter, brighter path forward. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Cara Starke - Executive Director, Pulitzer Arts Foundation</strong></p><p>This timely, thought-provoking book opens up pressing conversations about the role of museums in our society, about what it might take for them to adapt to our era of inequality, racial injustice, and social reckoning. In twelve insightful exchanges, Jandl and Gold ask museum leaders to consider some of the most urgent and controversial questions in the field - about who museums serve and how, the needs of museum audiences, and what it means to care for culture. </p><p><br></p><p><strong>Steven Lubar - Professor, American Studies, History, History of Art and Architecture, Brown University</strong></p><p>In these conversations some of America's most distinguished art museum directors wrestle with the ethical concerns arising from new rules about how the proceeds of deaccessioned art can be spent. What makes the conversations so fascinating is the way that they open up into all of the interconnected challenges facing museums today. Come for the deaccessioning debate; stay for thoughtful reflections on the big questions of racial reckonings, colonial roots, and inequality, and for insight into the ways museum directors are thinking about the balance of collections, research, public programs, and community connections. </p><p><br></p><br>
