Intimate Ecologies
Intimate Ecologies is an illustrated thesis which explores the languages of contemporary exhibitions and making in museums and related cultural spaces in the UK. The thesis presents arguments for understanding the value of embodied material knowledge to aesthetic experience in exhibitions, across a spectrum of human expression. These are supported by reference to exhibition case studies, critical and theoretical works from fields including social anthropology, architecture; art and design history; literature and a range of individual original works of art. The thesis concludes that the museum exhibition, as a creative medium for understanding objects, becomes enriched by close study of material practice and embodied knowledge that draws on a concept of craft and the practice of crafts.
