Summary

Collecting, preserving, researching, exhibiting: all museums are based on these four cornerstones. The group exhibition Measuring the World and its accompanying catalogue explore the museum as such and in so doing engages with these four principles of order.How does contemporary art create orders? How does it develop systematic structures? How does it generate an ordered image of the world?In this richly illustrated catalogue, authors and curators seek out answers to these questions and in thus explore the human drive to create order, to systematise and to survey our world.Artists include Ai Weiwei, Marcel Broodthaers, Mark Dion, Martin Kippenberger, Joseph Kosuth, Matt Mullican, Gabriel Orozco, Grayson Perry, Thomas Struth, and Hiroshi Sugimoto among many others.Published on the occasion of the exhibition Measuring the World: Heterotopias and Knowledge Spaces in Art at Kunsthaus Graz, Austria, June - September 2011.English and German text.
