The Garage Journal’s Advisory Board on Doing Research in Art Institutions

What is the role of collaborative research in contemporary museum practice? How can an art institution support research in the arts and humanities? These are some of the questions that were sent to a panel of interlocutors—among them multi-disciplinary researchers, curators, and art managers. Their responses are presented in the form of a discourse about contemporary art institutions and research; its focus is on how art institutions can generate knowledge, support research, and build inclusive environments. Offering insights from different contexts, experiences, and disciplines, their discussion serves as a manifesto for research in the museum in general, and in The Garage Journal in particular.
