"The Art Newspaper's chief contributing editor, Gareth Harris, has just published a new book, Towards the Ethical Art Museum, which explores a range of issues affecting museums in the 21st century, from questions of provenance and restitution to funding and governance and responsibilities to staff and the communities the museums serve. He joins Ben Luke to discuss the book."
"And this episode's Work of the Week is PsychoBarn (Cut-Up) by Cornelia Parker, an installation first made in 2023 and relating closely to the British artist's 2016 project for the roof commission for the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Transitional Object (PsychoBarn). The work is in a major new group exhibition at the Kunstmuseum in Basel, Ghosts: Visualising the Supernatural and Luke speaks to its curator, Eva Reifert."
Museums face ethical challenges around provenance and restitution, funding and governance, and responsibilities to staff and to the communities they serve. Addressing these issues requires transparency in acquisition histories, clear restitution policies, equitable funding models, and accountable governance structures. A major Fra Angelico exhibition opened in Florence at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco, devoted to the 15th-century Florentine master and curated by Carl Brandon Strehlke. Cornelia Parker’s PsychoBarn (Cut-Up), first made in 2023 and related to her 2016 Transitional Object (PsychoBarn) roof commission, appears in Ghosts: Visualising the Supernatural at the Kunstmuseum Basel, with curator Eva Reifert.
