Ethnographic Experiments with Artists, Designers and Boundary Objects: Exhibitions as a Research Method

A lively investigation into ethnographic practice. Richly illustrated, Ethnographic Experiments with Artists, Designers and Boundary Objects reflects on the experimental skills and practices shared by ethnographers and curators. Francisco Martinez highlights relationships between contemporary art, design, and anthropology and imagines creative ways to develop new infrastructure that supports vital interdisciplinary work. Attentive to the experimental nature of exhibitions, Martinez models a new approach to both ethnography and objecthood across disciplinary boundaries.
