The Disabling Art Museum
This article examines museums and their furnishing, arguing that benches, seats and the very notion of comfort have a disabling or enabling function. A little studied aspect of visuality in museums, furniture admits some visitors and not others. Using New York’s Museum of Modern Art as the basis for its critique, the author gives an impressionistic account of how furnishing and comfort shape the museum visitor’s experience, but also reflect broad…

Knowing Their Space: Signs of Jim Crow in the Segregated South
”Jim Crow” was a character portrayed by the black-face minstrel, Thomas “Daddy” Rice, whose stage performances in the 1830s and 1840s typified many whites’ view of African-Americans throughout the nineteenth century.
