La valeur qu’attachent les individus à l’égard d’un objet culturel peut être expliquée, entre autres, par leur projet identitaire d’appartenance à un groupe. Cette thèse propose de nouvelles orientations stratégiques muséales permettant d’augmenter la fréquentation muséale, de changer le rapport du musée d’art aux publics et d’attirer ainsi d’autres individus.Cette recherche a permis la conceptualisation de la proximité identitaire « publics-musée d’art », la confirmation de ses dimensions et antécédents, et enfin, l’analyse de la relation entre la proximité identitaire « publics-musée d’art » et la fréquentation. Par ailleurs, le développement d’une échelle de mesure de la proximité identitaire « publics-musée d’art » a élargi le cadre théorique des phénomènes d’identification et de leurs conséquences.  Finalement la thèse propose des leviers d’action pour faciliter l’accès à l’art. Les musées ont intérêt à développer globalement une stratégie de proximité identitaire « publics-musée d’art » fondée sur le partage de caractéristiques communes et sur des dimensions affectives orientées vers toutes les catégories de publics. Plus particulièrement, les publics habitués seraient sensibles à des stratégies de rapprochement fondées sur le lien social et sur le partage de caractéristiques identitaires avec l’offre muséale ; les visiteurs occasionnels se rapprochent d’un musée d’art en étant le plus souvent accompagnés, et ressentent des émotions positives dans ces lieux ; et enfin une stratégie orientée vers le non public devrait permettre la valorisation de l’individu par rapport aux autres personnes de leur entourage. / The value that individuals attach to a cultural object can be explained, among other things, by their identity project of belonging to a group. This thesis proposes new strategic orientations for museums that increase museum attendance, change the relationship of the art museum with the public and attract other individuals.This research allowed the conceptualization of the proximity of the "public-art museum" identity, the confirmation of its dimensions and antecedents, and finally the analysis of the relationship between the "public-art museum" identity proximity and the art museum attendance. Moreover, the development of a "public-art museum" identity proximity scale, offers to broaden the theoretical framework of the identification phenomena and its consequences.Finally, the thesis proposes levers of action to facilitate access to art. It is in the interest of museums to develop a strategy of "public-art museum" identity proximity based on the sharing of common characteristics and affective dimensions oriented towards all categories of public. In particular, the regular audiences would be sensitive to strategies of rapprochement based on the social bond and the sharing of identity characteristics with the museum offer. The occasional visitors feel closer to an art museum when being most often accompanied, and feel positive emotions in these places. And finally, a non-public-oriented strategy should enable the individual to be highly considered by other people in their environment.

[pt] O intenso movimento em torno da construção, ampliação e reforma dos museus de arte em todo o mundo aponta para uma valorização do papel da arquitetura na circulação da arte, como evento midiático ou como geradora de novas centralidades urbanas, e na adequação dos museus às importantes transformações que ocorrem no campo da arte desde os anos 1960. O trabalho apresenta três abordagens do tema, contempladas uma em cada capítulo. O primeiro examina a participação da arquitetura nas estratégias de representação e de comunicação no ato da exposição, o segundo trata da arquitetura icônica que transforma o museu em imagem e símbolo que circula na mídia a serviço da instituição, uma terceira abordagem coloca o foco na arquitetura efêmera e trabalha com a ideia do museu como espaço contingencial que não se ancora em uma estrutura fixa, mas num sistema de conexões sociais e espaciais. / [en] The intense movement revolving around the construction, expansion and remodeling of art museums throughout the world signals the growing importance of the role of architecture in the circulation of art, whether as a media even or as a generator of new urban centralities, and in the adaptation of museums to the important transformations that have occurred in the field of art since the 1960s. The paper presents three approaches to the theme, each contemplated in a chapter. The first examines the participation of architecture in the communication and representation strategies in the act of exhibition, the second addresses iconic architecture that transforms the museum into image and symbol that appears in the media at the institution s service, the third chapter focuses on ephemeral architecture in the context of art, working with the idea of the museum as an undetermined space that is not anchored to a fixed structure, but to a system of social and spatial connections.

Foi na Rua Sete de Abril que o projeto de Pietro Maria Bardi se iniciava, na busca pela formação didática do público moderno que adentrava pelas portas do Edifício dos Diários Associados. Este estudo visa à compreensão desse momento da história artística de São Paulo e, acima de tudo, ao resgate as falas e documentos históricos antes calados pelo esquecimento. / Abstract: "Exposição Didática" and "Vitrine das Formas" were benchmarks exhibitions in the beginning of Assis Chateaubriand Museum of Art of São Paulo, in 1947.

Inicialmente realizados nos mesmos moldes de um salão tradicional foram, ao longo de suas edições, modificando seu caráter e sua estrutura. O certame pretendia, além de mostrar a produção de arte emergente naquela época, discutir como deveria ser organizado um Salão de Arte. Tais eventos, que no início obtiveram pequeno destaque, aos poucos se transformaram em acontecimentos de grande relevância, procurados por artistas do Brasil todo. Podemos dividir as exposições em dois momentos: no primeiro, de 1965 a 1969, as obras eram inscritas nas categorias estéticas tradicionais. No segundo, houve uma grande preocupação dos organizadores da mostra em atualizá-la, assim como acontecia em exposições de mesmo caráter em outros locais do Brasil, como em São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. O estudo faz um levantamento da trajetória destas exposições, realizadas nos anos 1960 e 70, procurando dar ênfase às diretrizes que as nortearam e ao tipo de arte que abrigaram / Abstract: The Campinas Contemporary Art Salons took place in the Campinas Contemporary Art Museum from 1965 to 1977, being afterwards resumed in two editions in the 1980s. Initially realized in the same moulds of a traditional salon, they gradually modified their character and structure in the course of its editions. Besides showing the emergent art production of that time, the initiative aimed at discussing how an Art Salon should be organized. Such events, which initially obtained little prominence, gradually became highly relevant happenings, attracting artists from all parts of Brazil. We can divide the exhibitions into two moments: in the first, from 1965 to 1969, the artworks were inscribed in the traditional aesthetic categories. In the second, there was a great concern from the show¿s organizers in updating it, as it was happening in exhibitions of the same kind in other venues in Brazil, such as São Paulo e Rio de Janeiro. The study surveys these exhibitions¿ trajectories, realized in the 1960s and 70s, highlighting the rules which guided them and the kind of art they sheltered. / Mestrado / Mestre em Artes

NDLTD Innovative ETD Award 2005. The design of a multi-functional building entails the synthesis of multiple systems and networks. The needs of multiple clients must be effectively overlaid to create a build able, contextually suitable and aesthetically pleasing architectural solution. The proposed building is a public, urban building. City buildings consist of spaces that are essentially part of the city, simultaneously dependant on the whole and separated by building lines and security systems. The gradation of space from public to private exists everywhere. The focus of the design is on the creation of place in the Pretoria CBD. The scheme is integrated into its surroundings, and functions as a system in itself. The proposed multi-use building will be set on a currently built up site in the Pretoria CBD, on the c/o Paul Kruger and Schoeman Streets, one city block from Church Square. Building functions include retail, residential, a satellite gallery for the Tshwane Art Museum, and new offices and facilities for Talking Beads, a producer Arts and Crafts. / Dissertation (MArch (Prof))--University of Pretoria, 2006. / Architecture / unrestricted

Procura definir o que seria um museu universitário modelo e busca identificar o quanto desse modelo existe na prática. Descreve a formação e as características dos museus da Universidade de São Paulo e dos museus universitários de arte no Brasil. Analisa a coleção e o museu de arte da Universidade de São Paulo - Coleção de Artes Visuais do Instituto de Estudos Brasileiros e Museu de Arte Contemporânea - diante do modelo proposto para museus universitários. E finalmente, discute a necessidade da Universidade de São Paulo possuir ou não essas coleções de arte. / This thesis addresses the profile of university museums - their origin, development and current profile– with emphasis on art museums. It attempts to define what a model university museum should be and to compare it to the existing situation. It describes the foundation and characteristics of the University of São Paulo museums and of university art museums in Brazil. It analyses the art collection and the University of São Paulo art museum - Visual Arts Collection of the Brazilian Studies Institute and the Contemporary Art Museum - in comparison to the university museum model proposed. And finally it discusses the need for those art collections in the University of São Paulo.

The thesis examines challenges museum curators face when outsourced performers – whose role it is to embody the work of other artists – are included in exhibition projects. The research questions are: What are the practical, juridical and ethical challenges that come with situating outsourced performance labour in the museum setting? What does the inclusion of live performance in exhibition projects mean for the role of the museum curator? Two exhibition cases in Stockholm are studied in the thesis: Marina Abramović – The Cleaner (2017) at Moderna Museet and Dora García, I Always Tell the Truth at Bonniers Konsthall (2018–19). The material consists of digital surveys that were sent out to employed performers from each exhibition case as well as interviews that were conducted with both performers and curatorial staff. The material was examined using theories on affective labour and the theoretical notion of de-skilling and re-skilling of acquired competences.  The thesis shows that the practical challenges include the architectural conditions of museum buildings, insufficient prior knowledge on what working with performers entail, short project timespans and limited exhibition budgets. The juridical challenges include a lack of union recommendations for performance in museums and the difficulty of situating reperformances of historical works that in its form and duration may go against national labour regulations. The ethical challenges include commodification of performers’ subjectivity through instances of affective labour and mechanisms of objectification. In turn, both the outsourced performer and the museum curator turned performance curator inhabits a precarious working situation. The role of the performance curator is highly administrational and organisationally tedious in its positioning between curatorship, performing arts production and human resource management. Additionally, it entails a prodigious amount of affective labour in the reproductive mode – of emotional investments, conflict resolution and social liaison.

This diploma thesis focuses on the topic of the gradual development of European art exhibition institutions whose modern stage dates to the early 19th Century and continues to the present. The characterization of the beginning of this modern phase is generally associated with the commencement of establishing first public art museums. The thesis will outset from this period in art history and focus on the linear evolution of art exhibition institutions to its present form. The thesis comments on an institutional change of exhibition space which is not perceived as a separate and socially independent process. On the contrary the work puts this gradual transformation into social, political and cultural contexts. Through the topic of modern institutional criticism the thesis moves to address contemporary European trends which severely affect the very specific environment of Czech exhibition institutions. The primary institutional structure, which was formed by the public demand and national unification, is here put into context of the current Czech situation which in response to the current official art institutions reacts by establishing small galleries which operate on a community basis.

This thesis investigates the factors that influence whether visitors to art exhibitions experience accessible introductory art labels or not. From the need of making art exhibitions and their communication available to more people of society the aim with this study is to increase awareness about the factors that influence accessibility and generate ideas about useful theory concerning accessible labels. By connecting theory concerning the purpose of art exhibitions, the social context of art exhibitions, orientation and disorientation and different views related to exhibition labels the author, by influence from the swedish Special pedagogy educational authority (Specialpedagogiska skolmyndigheten) accessibility model ”tillgänglighetsmodellen”, creates a accessibility model concerning the context of introductory art labels. The study gathered material from visitor interviews and observations from two different art exhibition institutions in Stockholm: Bonniers Konsthall and Spritmuseum, one art gallery and one cultural museum with an art exhibition feature. The analysis from the field work then formed the content of the accessibility model concerning the context of introductory art labels. As a background to the ideas behind the labels interviews where also performed with personnel in command of the communication concerning the labels. The results show that the visitors experience of accessible introductory art labels can be related to physical, social and pedagogical factors. Where the physical factors included reading situation, placing, lighting and soundscape. The social factors included other visitors, the willingness to ”do things right” and disorientation, confusion and uncertainty. The pedagogical factors included legibility, readability and well worth reading. The study also shows that the visitors pre-knowledge of art and habit of visiting art exhibitions could influence the visitors experience of accessibility. Where visitors without pre-knowledge about art history in the art gallery Bonniers Konsthall all found the texts non-accessible depending on a mix of physical, social and pedagogical factors. At the cultural museum Spritmuseum however visitors without pre-knowledge of art could find the text accessible. There a positive experience of the reading situation, including lightning and few other visitors, made visitors feel that the text where more accessible even when they experienced some difficulty with the accessibility related to pedagogical factors like text length. The study shows that the different factors of accessibility related to introductory art labels interacted and influenced the overall experience of text accessibility. This is a two years master's thesis in Museum and cultural heritage studies.
