Towards a post-human museum. Artistic practices in the post-pandemic era

Abstracts

This article addresses the museum through the prism of the current posthumanist discussions that are gaining in importance in the era of the COVID-19 post-pandemic. It analyses the historical attempts to break the dominant anthropocentric point of view and its vision of the world based on the modernist oppositions of nature–culture, human–non-human and material–immaterial. By recalling the examples of avant-garde practices and the resulting critical concepts of institution, the author ponders on the permanence of universalist narratives giving humans a privileged status and making the world subordinate to people. The paper asks questions about the future of the museum given the crisis of the anthropocentric paradigm and the need to redefine the existing concepts and rethink the relationship between humans and the environment. The only chance for this institution to survive in the Anthropocene is a post-human museum, which, the author argues, can protect the institution of art from becoming anachronistic and eventually forgotten. Is the vision of the institution based on caring for Other-than-Human Beings, promoting the interspecies communication and responding to modern challenges, possible to be implemented?
