The museum of contemporary art might be the most advanced recording device ever invented. It is a place for the storage of historical grievances and the memory of forgotten artistic experiments; social projects; or errant futures. But in late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Russia; this recording device was undertaken by artists and thinkers as a site for experimentation. Arseny Zhilyaevrsquo;s Avant-Garde Museology presents essays documenting the wildly encompassing progressivism of this period by figures such as Nikolai Fedorov; Aleksandr Rodchenko; Kazimir Malevich; Alexander Bogdanov; and othersmdash;many which are translated from the Russian for the first time. Here the urgent question is: How might the contents of the museum be reanimated so as to transcend even the social and physical limits imposed on humankind?
