INSTRUCTION MANUAL BY FLOATING MUSEUM
An instruction manual tends to accompany a technical apparatus and explain how to use it. As all four Nordic museums are in a state of transition and wish to have broader relevance to the publics they intend to serve, Floating Museum offers this as a suggestion for activating the network’s collections objects across a range of spaces—private, semi-private, and public. This projective engagement with collections can be thought of as an alternative to what Hito Steyerl describes as the “museum-as-factory.”
This pamphlet was produced as a contribution to the Museum Why network, including: Malmö Konstmuseum (SE), Trondheim Kunstmuseum (NO), Museet for Samtidskunst (DK), and Nykytaiteen museo Kiasma (FI) in collaboration with Copenhagen University’s Research Centre Art as Forum (DK).
