This captivating exploration delves into the ideas of vertiginous collecting, art-making, and museums as expanded fields, encompassing a wide range of phenomena, including wonder houses and missionary museums (or museobuses) in Britain and South Asia.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf the historiography of British India has traditionally privileged photography and the Imperial Picturesque, this book shifts the focus to the formation of a creole modernity. It examines the intricate relationship between art and labor, encompassing the captivating world of pearlescence and pearl fishing in Sri Lanka. Moreover, it delves into the iconoclastic\/fetish debates and forms of collecting that emerged among missionaries in this region.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of this exploration lies the insightful work of Eaton, who skillfully intertwines the genealogies and modernities of white(ness) in contemporary curating and amateur female practice. She sheds light on how the museobus or museum as a unique object has informed the groundbreaking work of contemporary artist group Raqs Media Collective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book holds immense appeal to scholars engaged in the fields of art history, Asian history, and imperial and colonial history. It uncovers new narratives, challenges prevailing perspectives, and adds depth to our understanding of the complex interplay between art, culture, and history in South Asia. Through its meticulous research and engaging storytelling, it invites readers to embark on a journey of discovery, expanding their horizons and enriching their knowledge of this captivating region.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 246 x 174 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9780367640347\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Natasha Eaton","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":45290005561594,"sku":"9780367640347","price":40.98,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/noImage_1_4b6d3020-ddb2-4582-973f-0319aac644fc.jpg?v=1707124997","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/travel-art-and-collecting-in-south-asia-vertiginous-exchange-9780367640347","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
