Abstract
The space of the museum offers a unique opportunity to concretise the possibilities of new aesthetic imaginaries, from the curation of large-scale exhibitions to the intimate gaze invited by an object plucked from anonymity in storage and placed in a vitrine. In this essay, I explore an exhibition I curated in 2014, regarding the life and work of Paul Denys Montague, a fledgling anthropologist who worked in New Caledonia in 1914.
