Il parco in una stanza. Teresa La Rocca, allestimento per il Museo Collisani, Petralia Sottana
2013
“The park inside a room” Teresa La Rocca, Collisani Museum in Petralia Sottana. Is it possible for a small museum installation to concentrate a wide range of relations with the territory, even putting into a subtle visual relationship the exhibited objects and their original site? The text answers through four main questions/themes which describe the design project: - Collecting versus exhibiting: The Collisani archeological collection tells, like any collection a personal story, almost as intimate as a diary, the project had to explain it and make it suitable for a larger public. - Inner Landscape: The entrance to the Vecchiuzzo cave is framed in a window glass, in front of the pre-histori…
THE SIGNS OF WATER
2020
Signs of Water. A hidden waterscape in Palermo is recovered from the oblivion through a process consisting in a territorial analysis, a careful reading of ancient maps and historical archives, a deep design of new landscapes trancing the signs of the passage of water in a land where water has a permanent role along the centuries. A vast agricultural territory covers the Conca d'Oro valley, where lays the city of Palermo: rich in landscape, environmental and archaeological heritage, only some areas were subtracted from the intense construction and speculative activity that characterized the history of the city in the sixties and the seventies of the twentieth century. The main goal of this s…
LA SOVRADDIZIONE CONSAPEVOLE NEI MUSEI DI ARCHEOLOGIA SUBACQUEA: IL CASO DI ARQUA
2010
If most of museological and museographic literature recounts the opportunity of re-evoking the context of usage, far more rarely it deals with the issue of re-evoking the context of retrieval. However, representing the sites of discovery of archaeological finds is a museographic act widely acknowledged in archaeological museums. One has to evaluate, though, if the reconstruction of the context of retrieval happens to confer an additional value to the exhibition, or else if it completes on a certain extent the cultural message that defines and holds together the various exhibits of an exhibition. the issue of context punctually appears every time underwater archaeological findings are exhibi…
Museum and Exhibition Design in the Digital Age
2013
From temples of sacred objects to repositories of colonial trophies and from monuments of civility to spaces for self-expression, the shape and the appeal of museums through history has been fashioned to hold particular collections of objects. Moreover the museums have been also designed to adapt to particular display techniques appropriate for a particular collection. In the last century, a period of structural reinvention in the design and shaping of the exhibitions, the museum making is challenging, creative, and complex. The ‘new museum making’ includes emotive exhibitions within communicative buildings in order to create ‘narrative experiences’ which integrate objects, spaces, and audi…
Musei e nuove tecnologie per allestire
2011
In recent years, the application of new technology has become more widespread in expanding areas. In the field of cultural heritage, this technology has brought important changes to traditional systems of protection, management and enhancement; there are new languages for communicating the different values of cultural heritage, contributing to a more extensive dissemination of culture assets.The application of new media in indoor museums is changing the way of presenting objects and communicating their meaning, and renders the visit more enjoyable, involving and exciting.However, the excessive use of these tools can become overwhelming when compared to the objects themselves, transforming t…
The interpretation of prehistoric visual expression in indoor museums
2011
Representing Prehistory in museums, with all the contradictions that the term “representation” may imply, is always very controversial from the interpretative point of view, implicating a series of different philosophical and scientific positions, both on Prehistory itself, and on the way of introducing it to the public, particularly today with the resurfacing of the need to dedicate some attention also to the social and the so-called “immaterial” contexts, to the myths, the rites, the cults, to the interpretation of life and nature, overcoming the obsolete concept of the museums exposing manufactured articles. In the long decontestualization process of the objects involving, unfortunately,…
Interiors and Exhibits: narrative in motion
2008
Nel 1786, Charles Wilson Peale apre il Natural History Museum di Filadelfia, da cui prende avvio una forma primordiale di exhibition design modernamente inteso, dove diorami, falsi paesaggi e ritratti contribuiscono a rivelare una precisa volontà di “mediatizzazione” del museo. Anche ai nostri giorni le istituzioni museali provano a risolvere le problematiche di “pubblicizzazione” e a fornire, anche al più inesperto visitatore, gli strumenti per individuare il racconto delle “cose” esposte. Peale, osserva Gary Kulik, nel concepire il suo museo come un luogo di intrattenimento per tutti piuttosto che come luogo di alta cultura, gioca un ruolo di vero antesignano della museografia moderna. At…
Natura, territorio e sentimenti dell’uomo: una questione d’identità.Oradour-sur-Glane e il museo della memoria
2010
When a community has a suffering memory, within the memory-oblivion mechanisms characterizing every form of social stability, the interventions of musealization of a specific landscape can usefully contribute to the “trauma elaboration” process, being the only helpful expedients to turn the painful events that the community is not able to cope with into a “shared commemoration”. However, based on the experience from the Charles de Gaulle Memorial in Colombey, the museal interpretation can determine a touristic earning power which can often overwhelm the more expected “duty of memory”. Every new museal insertion, being a place fit for the building of the community mind, has in fact to fulfil…
