PROGRAMMA 2

Hoe programmeren musea en andere culturele instellingen?

Framing

Mieke Bal

conditions:1. museums reason for approaching me2. confrontation cultural analysis – art

history3. confrontation theorist – curator4. collection from which to draw5. undermining the dogma of Sweelinck

as a minor artist6. wish for plurality of frames yet turned

into a unity (un-framing and de-framing)

Framing: samenhang?

Derrida Parergon: a supplement that becomes part of it. What is art? Where does it end, where does it begin?

Deleuze Rhizome: • Principles of connection and heterogeneity: any point of a rhizome

can be connected to anything other, and must be.• Principle of multiplicity: geen object geen subject, veelheid of

multipliciteit moet zelfstandig bekeken worden… als multipliciteit• Principle of asignifying rupture: breuk betekent niet, veroorzaakt

nieuwe, onverwachte groei.• Principle of cartography and decalcomania: a rhizome is not

amenable to any structural or generative model.

Culture and Meaning in the Museum

Eilean Hooper-Greenhill

• What is said and how it is said: communicate narrative though the objects are mute, open to interpretation (often contradictory).

• Thus: pedagogy of display is most important pedagogy, through content and style.

Raymond Williams: What is Culture?

• A general process of intellectual, spiritual and aesthetic development.

• The works and practices of intellectual and especially artistic activity.

• A particular way of life, whether of a people, a period or a group.

• The signifying system through which necessarily a social order is communicated, reproduced, experienced and explored.

NB: Seeing relates to what is known and to what counts as available to be observed. Maurice Merleau-Ponty

Resonance and Wonder

Stephen Greenblatt

• Resonance: the power of the displayed object to reach out beyond its formal boundaries to a larger world.

• Wonder: power of the displayed object to stop the viewer in his or her tracks, to convey an arresting sense of uniqueness to evoke an exalted attention.

Greenblatt

• Resonance: niet noodzakelijk binnen het kunstwerk zelf

• Wonder: type of gaze predomintaly western beweging (Plato en Aristoteles)

• Conclusie: wonder should lead to the desire of resonance.
