Aproximación a un modelo de educación patrimonial horizontal a partir de tres casos
2017
La investigación en educación patrimonial ha permitido definir una serie de modelos que se desarrollan fundamentalmente en los ámbitos formal y no formal. Este trabajo se sitúa en al ámbito informal. El objeto es avanzar en el desarrollo de un modelo de educación patrimonial horizontal mediante redes de colaboración entre asociaciones, entidades e instituciones.Se han estudiado tres casos de acción sobre el patrimonio en tres contextos diferentes: rural, urbano y periurbano, seleccionados por su carácter informal y dialógico. Los objetivos son: reflexionar sobre la construcción de una educación patrimonial horizontal y definir métodos y estrategias, detectando dificultades e identificando f…
People comfort and artwork saving in museums: comparing indoor requisites
2009
In museums, environmental indoor conditions should, contemporaneously, preserve the exhibited works of art and ensure the comfort conditions for people. Unfortunately, human and artworks requirements are characterised by different values of the physical indoor parameters that, occasionally, could become conflicting. In the paper, these problems are addressed by means of a literature analysis, with a specific attention to thermal comfort conditions of people. The possibility of finding common ranges of values for both requisites is finally discussed. Some recent technical recommendations on the matter have also been considered for indicating some HVAC equipment and appliances to be adopted i…
Visually low-impacting methods for the measurement of parameters related to IAQ risk indicators in exhibition halls
2021
Microclimate for cultural heritage plays a fundamental role in the degradation process of artefacts exhibited in museums. Generally, the Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitoring inside museums is based on conventional measurements of thermo-hygrometry parameters and longtime averaged measurements of atmospheric pollutants’ concentration. Unfortunately, all these approaches require electric supply and are usually characterized by a noticeable visual impact on the exhibition space, which clearly negatively affects the visitors’ experience. This paper intends to revisit and discuss a methodology (and its test application on field, to estimate the risk of damage of three artefacts displayed in an ol…
Arte contemporanea e sistema dell’arte. Una breve ricognizione
2018
Il contributo prende in esame i principali soggetti del sistema dell’arte, come artisti, curatori, critici, collezionisti, gallerie, musei e fiere, analizzando la nascita del fenomeno in riferimento a protagonisti e movimenti di epoca contemporanea e offrendo spunti di riflessione sulle dinamiche che regolano tale network complesso e affascinate. The contribution explores the main players of the art system (artists, curators, critics, collectors, galleries, museums and art fairs) examining this phenomenon in reference to contemporary artists and movements and offering a reflection on the dynamics which regulate this complex and fascinating network.
Virgin and Child sculptures in Buenos Aire’s public collections, 12th to 16th centuries
2016
During the last years, the building process and history of art collections became a prolific field of study in Argentina. However, research on medieval art in private and public collections in our country received little or no attention. But even if medieval art is considerably less represented than modern styles, there is an interesting amount of high quality medieval pieces exhibited at several museums in Argentina. The main purpose of this thesis is therefore to expand our knowledge of the medieval works of art in public Argentine collections, as related to their origin, dating, interpretation, technique and provenance. These pieces show great diversity of styles, provenance and techniqu…
Emotions and visitors’ satisfaction at a museum
2014
Purpose – This research aims to investigate whether emotions can be considered as a suitable variable to segment visitors at a museum. Furthermore, it seeks to analyse whether emotions influence visitor satisfaction and whether this depends on objective variables (such as age, gender and level of education) or not. Design/methodology/approach – A structured questionnaire was developed and data were collected at the National Museum of Archaeology “G.A. Sanna” in Sardinia (Italy) via 410 face-to-face interviews. Hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analyses and a series of chi-squared tests were run for the purpose of the study. Findings – Two segments were identified. The cluster with …
Multi-sensory approaches to (audio) describing the visual arts
2012
Making art accessible to blind patrons requires the ability to convey explicit and implicit visual messages through non-visual forms. Audio description is often seen as the best way to offer visual texts to blind people; however, one may query whether words alone are sufficient to convey the subtleties of art and to transport the emotional charge such works offer. It is a fact that the dialogue between words and touch may allow these particular “readers” to “see” art in its tangible forms, but perhaps more is needed if one is to give them the opportunity to live the art experience to the full. This article discusses different multi-sensory approaches to making art available to visually impa…
Per un teatro dell'architettura e della città: teorie e pratiche di realtà aumentata alla Cité de l'architecture et du patrimoine al Palais de Chaill…
2017
Lo studio presenta gli esiti di una ricerca volta allo sviluppo di un allestimento museale con sole tecniche di realtà aumentata per la Cité de l’architecture et du patrimoine (Palais de Chaillot, Parigi). Realizzato sfruttando la recentissima piattaforma Google Tango, questo sistema permette al visitatore di accedere a contenuti multimediali e visualizzare ricostruzioni digitali 3D, appositamente elaborate, semplicemente inquadrando con uno smartphone Tango-enabled i calchi e i plastici esposti nel museo. This study presents the results of a research which aims to develop a museum exhibition planning, with interactive augmented reality techniques, at the Cité de l’architecture et du patrim…
A new selenosteid placoderm from the Late Devonian of the eastern Anti-Atlas (Morocco) with preserved body outline and its ecomorphology
2022
Placoderms are an extinct group of early jawed vertebrates that play a key role in understanding the evolution of the gnathostome body plan, including the origin of novelties such as jaws, teeth, and pelvic fins. As placoderms have a poorly ossified axial skeleton, preservation of the mainly cartilaginous axial and fin elements is extremely rare, contrary to the heavily mineralized bones of the skull and thoracic armor. Therefore, the gross anatomy of the animals and body shape is only known from a few taxa, and reconstructions of the swimming function and ecology are speculative. Here, we describe articulated specimens preserving skull roofs, shoulder girdles, most fins, and body outlines …
