The book published by the Museum of Art in Lodz Continue Listening, Please is the result of a number of interviews with current and former staff, and also with artists affiliated to the Museum, conducted in the course of the ‘Tell the Museum’ Project implemented in 2018–2022. Their authors methodically applied oral history to investigate the Museum’s history, following which they commissioned a non-Museum affiliate to prepare texts on the grounds of the conversations. The selection of interviewees, encompassing curators, conservators, individuals responsible for education, or administrative staff allowed to describe the aspects of the operations of the Museum of Art, events, and individuals, previously only marginally present in the to-date publications on the Lodz institution. Not really being a monograph, the book signals motifs which could be tackled in the course of the preparation of the future history of the Museum of Art, going beyond the paradigm of the existing stories about the institution’s history, such as its functioning in the times of the political and economic crisis in the 1980s, the operations following the 1989 transformation, employee relations, or the organic, including the non-human dimension of a museum. It also poses questions about functioning of museums, their role and organization, currently and in the future.
