This week I've been mainly reading, no. 161.

Although based on her PhD, Julia Noordegraaf's Strategies of Display (2012) is an accessible review of the development of modern museums' display strategies since mid C19th. Refreshingly, rather than focus on Anglo museums, the work is illustrated throughout by museum developments in Holland. She also explores the parallel development in retail to make sense of the social forces display has responded to. Worth reading!

I’ve written some thoughts on Blind Spot: Exploring and Educating on Blindness by Maud Rowell, a short book that packs a punch! These essays are so insightful, writing about issues I’ve been thinking about recently in a far more eloquent way than I could ever manage #BookReview @bookstodon @disability
