In the March issue of ArtReview, critics, curators and museum directors respond to the premise that museums are in crisis, offering both diagnoses and treatments. Alistair Hudson argues for a radical overhaul, Daisy Nam thinks museums must be situated within their immediate communities, Eugenio Viola states that museums exist in order to be contested spaces. Sarah Jilani makes the case that long-term loans are by nature unethical. Mariacarla Molè reports from CIMAM’s annual gathering of global museum professionals. Jonathan T.D. Neil wonders if museums have a future in Trump’s America. Sharmini Pereira considers the possibility that the only museums that matter are the ones that unsettle and create friction. And farid rakun of ruangrupa believes that museums must ‘drop their names, even mandates’ to escape their fate as collaborators in turning artmaking into a rat race. Also in this issue, Fi Churchman speaks to Tracey Emin about love; Mateus Nunes discusses Gê Viana’s work; Kristian Vistrup Madsen considers John Skoog and apocalyptic endings; Clive Chijioke Nwonka writes on the productive deployment of opacity. In ‘Eternal Returns’, J.J. Charlesworth revisits a museum for disfavoured statues. Plus a new artist project by Lyndon Barrois Jr. Reviews of exhibitions from around the world include Pierre Huyghe in Berlin, Robert Rauschenberg in Houston and Anne Hardy in Carlow; alongside reviews of books by John Morgan, Megha Majumdar and Isabel Waidner.
