Preface / Julieta Aranda, Brian Kuan Wood, Anton Vidokle -- Introduction. Avant-garde museology : toward a history of a pilot experiment / Arseny Zhilyaev -- I. Museum as common task -- II. The museum of avant-gardism -- III. The materialistic museum.
The museum of contemporary art might be the most advanced recording device ever invented. It is a place for the storage of historical grievances and the memory of forgotten artistic experiments, social projects, or errant futures. But in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russia, this recording device was undertaken by artists and thinkers as a site for experimentation. Arseny Zhilyaev's Avant-Garde Museology presents essays documenting the wildly encompassing progressivism of this period by figures such as Nikolai Fedorov, Aleksandr Rodchenko, Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Bogdanov, and others--many which are translated from the Russian for the first time. Here the urgent question is: How might the contents of the museum be reanimated so as to transcend even the social and physical limits imposed on humankind?
Translated from the Russian.
