Abstract This chapter explores the relationship between contemporary art and anthropology from multiple perspectives. While much attention has been paid to the nuances of regional, national, and subdisciplinary schools of anthropology, the framework of contemporary art, a much larger field of practice, has been far less critically unpacked in ethnographic terms. By exploring the resonance of contemporary art narratives within new museum projects, the framework of institutional critique, and the provocation of theories of assemblage, I highlight the border zones and aesthetic frames that constitute contemporary art in the ethnographic museum and trace some of the effects of this relationship.
