Title: | The poetics and prosaics of making exhibition: a personal reflection on the Centenary Gallery | Authors: | Levell, Nicky | Keywords: | Museum ethnography;exhibitionary process;history of collecting;curatorship;Etnografia de museus;processo expositivo;história de colecções;curadoria | Issue Date: | 2001 | Publisher: | CIAS - Centro de Investigação em Antropologia e Saúde | Abstract: | By selecting and describing different life-stages in the production of
one particular exhibition - the permanent ethnographic displays in the Centenary
Gallery of the Horniman Museum, London - this paper examines the dialogical
nature of exhibition making. From curatorial conception, through design, to the
Museum’s corporate modifications, the role of the curator as dominant producer
is problematised and the differentiated languages of museum practice are interrogated.
Attention is particularly focused on the intersections and interactions
between and across these different professional languages which serve to constitute,
transform and fix exhibitionary media. Por meio da seleção e descrição de diferentes momentos no ciclo de vida da produção de uma exposição - a exposição permanente da Centenary Gallery do Hornimam Museum de Londres - o presente artigo analisa a natureza dialógica do processo de montagem de exposições. A análise dos processos de concepção, de design e de transformação da organização do museu, permitem problematizar o papel do curador e colocar em questão as linguagens diferenciadas da prática museológica. O debate é centrado nas intersecções e interacções entre as diferentes linguagens profissionais que servem para constituir, transformar e fixar os meios expositivos. |
