Book Description
Where, how, by whom and for what were the first museums of contemporary art created? These are the key questions addressed by J. Pedro Lorente in this new book. In it he explores the concept and history of museums of contemporary art, and the shifting ways in which they have been imagined and presented. Following an introduction that sets out the historiography and considering questions of terminology, the first part of the book then examines the paradigm of the Musée des Artistes Vivants in Paris and its equivalents in the rest of Europe during the nineteenth century. The second part takes the story forward from 1930 to the present, presenting New York's Museum of Modern Art as a new universal role model that found emulators or 'contramodels' in the rest of the Western world during the twentieth century. An epilogue, reviews recent museum developments in the last decades. Through its adoption of a long-term, worldwide perspective, the book not only provides a narrative of the development of museums of contemporary art, but also sets this into its international perspective. By assessing the extent to which the great museum-capitals - Paris, London and New York in particular - created their own models of museum provision, as well as acknowledging the influence of such models elsewhere, the book uncovers fascinating perspectives on the practice of museum provision, and reveals how present cultural planning initiatives have often been shaped by historical uses.

Book Description
Cada persona es como una piedra, en un rió que fluye de forma infinita, y al paso del agua, que es la fuerza de El Systema, es como nos tallamos entre nosotros y nos vamos puliendo hasta quedar con una superficie lisa y suave en nuestras capas exteriores. Cuando aprendo a fluir con la corriente del rio, actuó sin sentirme lastimado, y sin lastimar a los demás con mis actos y mis palabras, me deslizo por el rio de la vida disfrutando del viaje. Art He Sys nos enseña de forma sencilla, a mirarnos como parte de un todo, para aprender como interactuar mejor entre nosotros, de que manera nuestras acciones cuentan y a percibir las causas de los acontecimientos que nos suceden.
