內(nèi)容摘要
Why do people go to exhibitions, and what do they hope to gain from the experience? What would happen if people are encouraged to move freely through exhibition spaces, take photographs and be playful?
In this book, Inge Daniels explores what might happen if people and objects were freed from the regulations currently associated with going to an exhibition. Traditional understandings of exhibitions place the viewers in a one-way communication form, where the exhibition and those behind its creation inform their audiences. However, motivations behind exhibitions going are multiple and complex and frequently the intentions of curators do not match the expectations of their visitors.
Based on an in-depth ethnographic examination of the processes involved in the making and reception of one particular exhibition experiment as well as a study that follows ‘freed’ objects into their new homes, this publication will shed light on what exhibitions are but also what they could become in the future.
Featuring over 175 colour illustrations and using practical examples, this will be essential reading for students and scholars of anthropology, museum studies, photography, design and architecture.
人們?yōu)槭裁匆フ褂[，他們希望從中得到什么？如果鼓勵人們在展覽空間內(nèi)自由活動、拍照和嬉戲，會發(fā)生什么呢？
作者在這本書中探討了這些問題，即如果觀眾和展品不受參展規(guī)則的約束，可能會發(fā)生什么。傳統(tǒng)的展覽將觀眾置于一種單向的交流模式中，其中策展團(tuán)隊(duì)負(fù)責(zé)為觀眾提供信息。然而，展覽背后的動機(jī)是多面且復(fù)雜的，策展人的意圖往往不符合觀眾的期望。
在本書中，作者對展覽實(shí)驗(yàn)的制作和展示過程進(jìn)行了深入的民族志研究，同時(shí)對“自由”物品進(jìn)入一個(gè)新環(huán)境進(jìn)行了研究。作者希望通過本書闡明什么是展覽，以及它們將來可能成為什么。
本書對實(shí)際案例加以分析，配以超過175幅彩色插圖，是人類學(xué)、博物館研究、攝影、設(shè)計(jì)和建筑學(xué)相關(guān)專業(yè)的學(xué)生及學(xué)者的必備讀物。
