Historically, museums  have functioned as key sites for the production of  boundaries between nature and culture. Nature might  be presented in form and image, but its processes must  not be allowed to take hold within museum architecture.  In a warming world, climate-controlled interiors are  increasingly vulnerable to floods, fires, and power  failures. In an effort to address environmental crises,  artists chop through walls, fill them with dirt, and bring  in insects, plants, and animals, while others leave the  institution altogether to embrace the specificity of site.  Audiences are drawn outside and off-screen, into zones  that recalibrate norms of aesthetic attention. Rewilding  the Museum explores a paradox that also lurks at the  heart of restoration ecology: We cannot return to past  fantasies of \"nature.\" Rather, we must foster ecologies  that support biodiversity and stable geophysical cycles.  This book asks how artists and curators are working  with and against exhibition infrastructures to elaborate  contemporary ideas of nature. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56420628005237,"sku":"9783775761000","price":24.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9783775761000","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
