SUMMARY:Art Capital: Museum Politics and the Making of the Louvre Abu Dhab

LOCATION:Elliott School of International Affairs 505\, 1957 E Street NW\, 
 Washington\, DC 20052
DESCRIPTION:Attend In-Person or Attend Online\n\nThe Institute for Middle 
 East Studies\, in-partnership with the Corcoran School of the Arts and De
 sign\, invites you to join author Beth Derderian and discussant Joshua Be
 ll for an exploration of Art Capital: Museum Politics and the Making of t
 he Louvre Abu Dhabi.\n\nMuseums often served nationalist and imperialist 
 interests in the past\, but the primary force in the 21st century is the 
 market. Museum franchising—exemplified by the Louvre Abu Dhabi—is one of 
 the most visible cases of the increasing entanglement of art and museums 
 with capital interests. Such projects are often touted as global enterpri
 ses diversifying the art world. Frequently\, critics of these controversi
 al projects question these claims and market influence.\n\nThe intersecti
 on of these two forces—increasing capitalization and moving toward inclus
 ivity—creates a fundamental tension\, and that is the subject of Beth Der
 derian's Art Capital. Focusing on the decade between the Louvre Abu Dhabi
 's announcement and its eventual opening\, the book analyzes how major sh
 ifts away from the 19th- and 20th-century paradigm of culture-state repre
 sentation play out in museums' and artists' everyday practices. Dr. Derde
 rian traces the emergence of a new logic\, wherein the ways that artists 
 represent the state shift\, as does the notion of what constitutes 'good 
 art.' In addition\, these intersecting forces spur preemptive erasures th
 at neutralize and depoliticize difference for museum publics.\n\nDra\n\nh
