Exposer l’âge du Bronze
2021
Exhibitions about the Bronze Age in France are quire a recent affair and only eighteen temporary exhibitions, most with their own catalogue, have been curated since 1986. This conference has given us the opportunity to overviev, the exhibitions that have given eirher a regional perspective of the Bronze Age or have focused on a particular theme. ln the last few years, several exhibitions have highlighred non-funerary metal deposits. The museography and public ourreach have varied for each exhibition, but ail have dealt with the difficult question of recontextualisation and how we understand and interpret archaeological data. This is particularly relevant, as the public still knows lirrle o…

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…

Pictorial meaning-making in a community project in Helsinki. Freirean interpretations of a dialogical process
2018
Participation in public discourse belongs to a democratic citizenship. However, part of the population is excluded from such communal discussion. This paper describes how the photography group Camera Obs., which principally contained unemployed people in Helsinki, created pictorial voices from their own everyday experiences through a dialogical process, rendering them also visible to other people. The research focuses on the group’s activity during the years 2004–6, from the beginning of the project to its first exhibition. As a theoretical background, Paulo Freire’s ideas of dialogue and voice creation, combined with Vygotsky’s and Mezirow’s concept of meaning-making, have been applied. T…
Simone Geraci. Echos
2019
The essay was made on the occasion of Simone Geraci's solo show at the Quam gallery in Scicli, where the artist presented a very refined selection of his most recent artistic production. Geraci, who prefers the definition of painter to that of artist, is firmly convinced of the condition of painting as a living language, not devoid of narrative implications, and as an expressive tool that is still current and capable of great fascination.

Animated Corpses: Communicating with Post Mortals in an Anatomical Exhibition
2006
‘Plastinates’ (i.e. corpses conserved through plastics) are lab created artifacts which since the nineties have been the subject of a cultural field experiment via an anatomical exhibition. Similarly to brain-dead or digitalized bodies, they constitute an ambiguous form of post-mortem existence. The article inquires after the ways in which the ontological status of these entities is constituted through the practices of body donors, anatomists and visitors. Plastinates owe their ambiguity to an oscillation between two different frames of perception. Their meaning is determined by the extent to which an anatomy exhibition can impose a ‘medical gaze’ over a non-professional way of perception, …

Categories and boundaries in Sámi exhibitions
2019
This article examines the construction of ethnicity in the permanent exhibitions of two Sami museums: Siida, the National Museum of the Finnish Sami and a Nature Centre of Metsahallitus, and ajtte, the Swedish Mountain and Sami Museum. The aim of the article is to find out how ethnic categories and boundaries are created by the exhibitions, and how the museum presentations relate to contemporary public discussions about Sami ethnicity. The presentations are analysed within the framework of discourse analysis. The findings suggest that the two museums, with a few possible exceptions, tend to produce a clear and stable ethnic boundary between the Sami and other ethnicities. Like the Sami ethn…
