Summary:	The Glossary of Common Knowledge (GCK), unlike an encyclopaedia, makes no attempt to unite all the world’s knowledge in a single totalising system, or to assemble a variety of viewpoints under the roof of tolerance and inclusion. What makes the glossary different from similar efforts is that it does not make just one list of terms but is instead concerned with multiple lists. Each of its terms is always associated in different ways with terms from other lists and other contexts. Families of terms are thus created, and these families are the core of the glossary. Every term in the GCK has its own story, and every story has a narrator(s), a narrator who is uttering their own situated knowledge. The terms by more than fifty narrators presented in the second volume of the Glossary of Common Knowledge were discussed and written between 2019 and 2022 during seminar meetings (at the Museum of Contemporary Art Metelkova, Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Valand Academy, and Van Abbemuseum) to bring together diverse knowledges from the museums as well as the global family of artists, thinkers and curators. They sought to find common knowledge to speak about less visible stories in contemporary art and to address systems that govern our ways of thinking in art and beyond. The project has been ongoing since 2014, and it was conceived and curated by Zdenka Badovinac, Bojana Piškur and Jesús Carrillo in the context of L’Internationale confederation of museums as a method of addressing the so-called referential fields.
