Anna Scalfi Eghenter (1965) uses artistic practice as a tool to intervene in the laboratory of the real. Sociological education orients her research toward an organizational experimentation that intersects the rules of the field with the boundaries of the permitted action. An independent artist, she includes the entire construction process in her work, considering the territory, the production and the institutions, such as the constitutive elements of the project itself.
This book, The Museum Game, is also part of the artist’s project work, in this case realized with the support of the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Culture within the Italian Council programme.
This paper artefact is thus an integral part of the process of museum contextualisation of the artist’s works at the Tiroler Landesmuseum Ferdinandeum in Innsbruck.
The book is built around a large central block of images, where the artist alternates between overviews of the installations and participatory mosaics, deliberately without margins, thus recalling his long-standing research focused on the notion of frame.
