The Transhistorical Museum: Mapping the Field

Exhibition overview 'Conversation Piece V', Frans Hals Museum 2013. Glenn Brown meets Hendrick Goltzius & Maerten van Heemskerck

Amsterdam 2018 (Publication). The first anthology dedicated to the notion of the transhistorical ways of thinking about and exhibiting artworks from different periods and contexts.

Since the turn of this century, we have witnessed a significant expanse in the field of transhistorical exhibition practices. A range of curatorial efforts have emerged in which objects and artefacts from various periods and art historical and cultural contexts are combined in display, in an effort to question and expand traditional museological notions like chronology, context, and category. Such experiments in transcending art historical boundaries can potentially result in both fresh insights into the workings of entrenched historical presumptions, and provide a space to reassess interpretations of individual objects in relation to their contexts and narratives.

The Transhistorical Museum: Mapping the Field

Publication

The anthology, which is part of the long-term research project on transhistoricity initiated by M-Museum, Leuven en the Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem, charts the territory for the transhistorical by bringing together contributions by leading scholars, curators and museum professionals of the field. It looks at the concepts that undergird the transhistorical, describes the theoretical horizon it relates to and illuminates the practical applications it has fostered. As such, it provides the grounds for further research and practical applications. Order the book here or buy it in our museum shop.

Launch

On Wednesday 23 May the book release of ‘The Transhistorical Museum. Mapping the Field’ takes place at Spui 25, academic-cultural centre at Spui 25-27 in Amsterdam.
