<em>El dibujado</em>: volver a la pared
2021
The exhibition El dibujado by Paco Roca (IVAM, 2019) is an exploration of the paradigm shift brought forth by the abandonment of paper and reproducibility as a space for the dissemination of the comic strip. The exhibition hall of a museum (the Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno) becomes a space for formal and ephemeral experimentation at different levels, from the purely creative to the pondering about the unexplored possibilities of the language of the comic book. With this exhibition cartoonist Paco Roca poses a challenge to a spectator who is called to leave his/her role as a visitor and become the reader of an experience in which s/he becomes a part of the work’s own narrative. The a…

L'architettura dei padiglioni dell'alimentazione e della ristorazione nelle esposizioni dell'Oltremare del Secondo Imperialismo
2014
Il periodo compreso fra le rivoluzioni liberali del 1848 e lo scoppio della seconda guerra mondiale nel 1939 (che dà il via al tramonto della cosiddetta “età aurea” del sistema capitalista e della supremazia del “vecchio continente” sul resto del mondo), pur in maniera difforme, è caratterizzato da un nuovo scenario economico e tecnologico della civiltà occidentale che riconosce nelle grandi esposizioni internazionali e nazionali, ma anche in quelle regionali e coloniali, le sedi più idonee per azioni di propaganda commerciale e politica. L’origine del genere delle esposizioni coloniali, che prende il via in sordina e con sensibile ritardo, è puramente mercantilistica e si manifesta inizial…
“Narrative Museums” and Curators’ Rights: The Protection of a Museum Exhibition and Its Scenario under Polish Law
2020
Since at least the 1990s, museums have expanded to cover a variety of societal functions, often enabling inclusive and participatory spaces for critical dialogue about the past and the future, and bridging together various narratives and cultural experiences, contributing to social cohesion and reconciliation. The new functions of museums, involving novel technological forms of display and communication, pose several legal questions concerning the management of such institutions, their resources, and exhibitions, including issues of copyright and other intellectual property rights. While referring to a recent case concerning an alleged infringement of the moral rights of the authors of the …
Narrativity and intertextuality in the making of a shared European memory
2016
The latest wave of European integration process, cultural Europeanization, includes complex processes, such as the attempts to create a shared European memory that would transcend national interpretations of the past. The cultural Europeanization can be perceived as a narrative operation: in it the EU, Europe, and Europeanness are given meanings and made sense of through narrativization. The article investigates the EU’s attempts to create a shared European memory by analyzing the exhibition narrative of the Parlamentarium, the visitors’ center of the European Parliament. The analysis indicates how the construction of an official shared European memory is operationalized through textual and…
Proceeding Book of 12th European Symposium on Religious art, Restoration & Conservation
2022
Fundamental contribution to filling out the condition reports of the work of arts involved in temporary exhibitions is provided by non-invasive investigation techniques. Investigation, carried out before and after the movement, allow to collect objective data to monitoring the surface or structural alterations and defining the state of conservation, representing an important moment of deepening of knowledge. Generally, these aspects often are left to photographic documentation and observations by conservators and curators. An example of good practice is represented by the case of the Saint Gregory Polyptych (Antonello da Messina, 1473) belonging to the Regional Museum of Messina (Italy). Th…
Politics of Mobility and Stability in Authorizing European Heritage : Estonia’s Great Guild Hall
2019
AbstractKaasik-Krogerus scrutinizes the European Heritage Label (EHL) as an authorized heritage discourse (AHD) in the making. She analyses how the discourse is formed in a politics of mobility and stability between the local, national, and European scales resulting from the interplay of europeanization (of the national and local) and domestication (of the European). The chapter asks how this politics of mobility and stability is conducted to manage the scalar dissonance in one of the sites, the Great Guild Hall in Tallinn, Estonia. Kaasik-Krogerus argues that the politics conducted in the exhibitions works in two controversial ways: legitimizing mobility and stability as natural and simult…
Exhibition Design Stories : metodi e pratiche di fruizione della cultura
2022
Museums, the main actors in the conservation and communication of works and promoters of a cultural offer, are at the center of a profound transformation; the technological aspects are the most obvious phenomenon, which increases the ability to accommodate and structure an ever-increasing request for participation and socialization on the part of the user. In particular, the importance of museum accessibility is described through the activation of participatory design processes which, through a narrative construction, are able to produce meaningful knowledge processes. The designer is able to articulate, mediate, coordinate, with awareness and effectiveness, the great complexity implemented…
Suomalaisuuden ja toiseuden rajamailla : eksotisointi Gallen-Kallelan Museon Afrikka-kokoelman näyttelyhistoriassa
2020
Museoilla on ollut historiallisesti keskeinen rooli kansallisuuden ja kansallisen kuvaston tuottajina ja kulttuuriperinnön ylläpitäjinä. Osana kansallisen identiteetin rakentamisprojektia museot ovat osallistuneet myös eksotisoivan kuvaston ja toiseuden tuottamiseen ja toiminnallaan vahvistaneet kolonialistisia erontekoja. Tässä artikkelissa otamme erityiseen tarkasteluun Gallen-Kallela Museon Afrikka-kokoelman näyttelyhistorian ja pohdimme, miten museo on kokoelmaa esittäessään osallistunut kolonialistisen kuvaston tuottamiseen ja uudelleen tulkitsemiseen. Tutkimuksessa esiin nostamamme näyttelyt jakautuvat neljälle vuosikymmenelle (vuosille 1972, 1987, 1993, 2003). Aineistonamme on kirjal…
