Buergel, Sophia PrinzMigration of FormExhibitions for the Global PresentThe term “migration of form” describes a curatorial method that takes aim at thecontradictions of the Western museum traditions and the ways exhibitions have beenconceived and designed. The method addresses transcultural entanglements in thepast and present from which objects emerge, rather than working with distinctionssuch as art and non-art or cultural identities and concepts such as “Africa” or “Renaissance.”It proposes a new type of museum for global audiences that serves as aplatform for discourses on urgent sociopolitical topics and as a space of experimentationwith new ideas and forms of display.This book explains and applies the “migration of form” by offering insights into thecuratorial method Roger M. Buergel has experimented with at Zurich’s Johann JacobsMuseum and other venues in Europe and Asia. Descriptions of single exhibitions onglobal trade, raw materials, or artists such as Maya Deren and Allan Sekula are complementedby concise texts which illuminate the theoretical foundations of the curatorialprocess. Richly illustrated, the volume invites a timely and broadened view of artand cultural history.Roger M. Buergel is a curator and has staged and directed numerousmajor exhibitions around the world, such as the documenta 12 (2007) inKassel, the Busan Biennale in 2012 and the Suzhou Biennale in 2016.He has been director of the Johann Jacobs Museum in Zurich 2012–21.Sophia Prinz is a scholar of cultural studies and cultural sociology.She taught as a visiting professor of theory of design and gender studies atBerlin’s University of the Arts 2018–20 and worked as a scientific advisorat the Johann Jacobs Museum in Zurich 2013–21.Scheidegger & SpiessAutumn 2021 22
