In 1879 the British Colony of New South Wales hosted the first international exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere. This was immediately followed by the Melbourne International Exhibition of 1880 in the colony of Victoria and the success of these exhibitions inspired the Melbourne Centennial Exhibition, which was held in 1888 to celebrate the centenary of white settlement in Australia. My thesis is that these international exhibitions had a profound impact on the development of our cities, the evolution of an Australian ethos and the gaining of nationhood. The immense popularity and comprehensive nature of the exhibitions made them the only major events in late nineteenth-century Australia that brought the people together in an almost universally shared experience. The exhibitions conveyed official ideologies from the organising elites to ordinary people and encouraged the dissemination of new cultural sentiments, political aspirations, and moral and educational ideals. Many exhibition commissioners, official observers and ideologues were also predominantly involved in the Federation movement and the wider cultural sphere. The international exhibitions assisted the development of an Australian urban ethos, which to a large extent replaced the older pastoral / frontier image. Many of the more enduring ideas emanating from the exhibitions were physically expressed in the consequent development of our cities ??? particularly Sydney and Melbourne, both of which had achieved metropolitan status and global significance by the end of the nineteenth century. The new urban ethos, dramatically triggered by Sydney 1879, combined with and strengthened the national aspirations and sentiments of the Federation movement. Thus the exhibitions created an immediate connection between colonial pride in urban development and European and American ideals of nation building. They also created an increasing cultural sophistication and a growing involvement in social movements and political associations at the national level. The international exhibitions, more than any other single event, convinced the colonials that they were all Australians together and that their destiny was to be united as one nation. At that time, Australians began to think about national objectives. The exhibitions not only promulgated national sentiment and a new ethos, but also provided opportunities for independent colonial initiatives, inter-colonial cooperation and a more equal position in the imperial alliance. Thus they became a powerful impetus, hitherto unrecognised, for the complex of social, political and economic developments that made Federation possible.

In this study I have sought to explore the theoretical foundations of the French artist Daniel Buren's work and its subsequent resonance in a context of emergent cultural conservatism. The study also traces, the increasingly tenuous position of the avant-garde, the survival of which is contingent on the presence of certain liberal democratic institutions. For me these concerns led to a systematic investigation of the censorship of Buren's installation at the 1971 Guggenheim International Exhibition. This was the last in a series of exhibitions that was to promote international goodwill by bringing together the best of recently produced works by contemporary avant-garde artists from around the world, and awarding prizes to those considered outstanding. But the real ideological significance of this show was apparent in the aggressive attempt by the administrators of the Guggenheim to promote American cultural superiority. Buren was invited to contribute a piece to the show in the belief that his work fit into the formalist mode around which the exhibition was organized. Yet the day before the show opened Museum officials suddenly decided to remove his work from the exhibition. The official explanation provided by the authorities of the Guggenheim cited the size and placement of Buren's work as being in direct conflict with the work of other artists in the exhibition. However, this explanation was clearly specious given that the Guggenheim officials knew months in advance exactly what this work would look like, and its intended place of installation. Moreover, Museum officials used the complaints of four participating artists as justification for their actions. Meanwhile, fifteen other artists in the show objected to the Museum's use of censorship. The issue of the Guggenheim Museum's sudden decision to withdraw Buren's installation from the Sixth Guggenheim International is thus more complex than the official explanation would indicate. My thesis contends that the abrupt removal of Daniel Buren's work is traceable to efforts by Guggenheim officials to protect other works in the exhibition, and the International series as a whole, from floating into the avant-gardist-traditionalist polemic that had again flared up in the New York art world. Chapters One and Two examine the organization of the 1971 Guggenheim International and the rationale behind that organization. Chapter Three looks at the threefold controversy surrounding the 1971 International: the conflict that arose between participating artists, the questions of censorship that were raised by the actions of Museum officials, and the overwhelmingly hostile critical response to the exhibition. This study investigates a period of social and epistemological rupture in American art, the reverberations of which continue to be felt today. / Arts, Faculty of / Art History, Visual Art and Theory, Department of / Graduate

As exposições científicas de caráter internacional e itinerante estão presentes em diversos momentos da história da divulgação científica do Brasil e do mundo. Esses grandes eventos também marcam presença na atualidade, através das mostras que buscam apresentar à população as Ciências produzidas em diferentes contextos. Embora historicamente o papel social dessas exposições tenha se alternado em força e motivos, torna-se evidente que esse tipo de iniciativa ainda é recorrente na agenda da divulgação científica do nosso país. Nesse contexto, esta tese compreende uma investigação sobre a vinda ao Brasil da exposição científica, itinerante e internacional \"Túnel da Ciência 3.0\" desenvolvida pelo Instituto Max Planck, a partir da iniciativa do setor público e privado. A compreensão das negociações e tensões estabelecidas entre diferentes sujeitos envolvidos na significação de uma exposição científica de caráter internacional, sob a ótica da teoria histórico-cultural da atividade é o objetivo principal da pesquisa. A produção de dados foi feita com a utilização de: notas de campo, entrevistas semiestruturadas com organizadores, representante do Ministério da Ciência e Tecnologia, monitores e visitantes, além da gravação em áudio e vídeo das visitas. A sistematização e a análise dos dados foram realizadas com o uso do software NVIVO11 ®, de forma a auxiliar na esquematização dos sistemas de atividade, bem como viabilizar a categorização dos conteúdos das contradições, tendo como base as manifestações discursivas de contradições e o método dialético. Os referenciais utilizados nessa investigação, incluindo os conceitos de sistema de atividade e contradições ofereceram dicas importantes sobre organização das relações que são estabelecidas entre os sujeitos envolvidos com a exposição. Foi possível identificar dez categorias que refletem os conteúdos das contradições de um processo de itinerância de uma exposição científica e internacional. São elas: Ciência local x Ciência global, financiamento público x privado, Aprender conteúdos científicos x explorar os aparatos interativos, divulgação institucional x divulgação das ciências, modelos dialógicos x valores universais, interatividade: discurso midiático x discurso expositivo, negociações: entre o planejado x efetivado, formalização institucional da concepção de divulgação científica x instabilidade política, teoria x prática de monitoria, monitoria junto ao público escolar x monitoria junto ao público espontâneo. A partir da reflexão sobre essas categorias sugerimos elementos centrais a serem considerados nos processos de adaptação de grandes exposições itinerantes e internacionais, que possibilitem a reflexão sobre formas mais contextualizadas desses eventos de modo a atender especificidades locais dos países visitados, contribuindo, assim, para as discussões que envolvem políticas públicas de divulgação das Ciências e tecnologias e a educação não formal. / The scientific, international and itinerant exhibitions are present at various moments in the history of the science communication of Brazil and the world. The major events are also present today, through the exhibitions they seek are presented as the sciences produced in different contexts. Although historically the social role of these exhibitions has alternated in strength and motives, it becomes clear that this type of initiative is present in the scientific communication of our country. In this context, this thesis comprises an investigation about the coming to Brazil of the scientific, itinerant and international exhibition \"Science Tunnel 3.0\" developed by the Max Planck Institute, based on the initiative of the public and private sector. The understanding of the negotiations and tensions established between different subjects involved in the meaning of an international scientific exhibition, from the point of view of the historical-cultural activity theory is the aim of the research. The production of data was done using field notes, semi-structured interviews with organizers, representatives of the Ministry of Science and Technology, monitors and visitors, as well as audio and video recording of visits. The systematization and analysis of the data were performed using the NVIVO11 ® software, in order to aid in the schematization of the activity systems, as well as to enable the categorization of the contents of the contradictions, based on the discursive manifestations of contradictions and the dialectical method. The frameworks used in this research, including the concepts of activity system and contradictions, provided important clues about the organization of the relationships that are established among the subjects involved with the exhibition. It was possible to identify ten categories that reflect the contents of the contradictions of a roaming process of a scientific and international exhibition. They are: Local science x Global science, public x private funding, Learning scientific contents x exploring the interactive apparatuses, institutional divulgation x science communication, dialogic models x universal values, interactivity: media discourse x expositive speech, negotiations: between the planned x effective, institutional formalization of the concept of scientific communication x political instability, theory x practice of monitoring, monitoring with the school public x monitoring with the spontaneous public. From the reflection on these categories, we suggest central elements to be considered in the processes of adaptation of international exhibitions, which allow the reflection on more contextualized forms of these events in order to meet local specificities of the countries visited, thus contributing to the discussions involving public policies for science and technology communication and non-formal education.

This thesis studies the influential role of architectural exhibitions in shaping and directing architectural discourses. The study accepts architectural exhibitions and associated publications as the critical act of architecture, in which (the work of) architecture is interpreted, reproduced and publicized. The main focus of this thesis is Modern Architecture: International Exhibition, held in 1932 at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA). This particular exhibition is a significant historical event, which officially announced architecture of the early 20th century as International Style. The thesis underlines the role of the 1932 exhibition and MoMA as an architectural media in reproducing the works of architecture and reformulating the agenda of 20th century modern architecture especially in U.S.A.

Master diploma thesis "The Media Portrayal of Czechoslovak attendance at International Exhibition in Montreal 1967 in contemporary press" intends to show media picture of Czechoslovak attendance at Expo 1967, through the use of analysis of selected daily press and social and cultural journals. It sets Czechoslovak attendance into political, cultural, ideological and media context and outline history and development of International Exhibition. Thesis also introduces Montreal exhibition and present information about attendance of Czechoslovakia. On this foundations arise the second part of the thesis, which propounds the media picture of this event in selected contemporary press and using analysis of self-mindedness that refers to rate of statement of facts and objectivity. Selected press and journals were monitored for a period of eight months and by researching there was considered form o reporting, ideological affection and general focus of selected press about this event. Important considered elements were also influence of freeing atmosphere of second half of sixties and fact, that exhibition took place in capitalistic state. Outcome of all these circumstances is media picture of this event, which is shown in conclusion of thesis.

[pt] Dentro de determinado evento histórico, as Exposições Internacionais, foram selecionados para estudo dois projetos de pavilhão brasileiro, para a Exposição da Filadélfia em 1926 e a Exposição de Nova Iorque, em 1939, ambas nos Estados Unidos, de autoria do arquiteto Lucio Costa. Da análise do contexto cultural, da conformação do concurso público e por fim da composição do projeto, pretende-se conectar o tema da representação nacional - específica do programa de pavilhão - ao estudo do desenvolvimento do discurso da arquitetura brasileira em dois momentos distintos de sua história no século XX: o período neocolonial e o moderno. Sendo projetos de um mesmo arquiteto, que consolidou-se como um dos maiores representantes da profissão no Brasil, o estudo é feito de maneira a compreender a formação tanto de sua prática projetual, contemplando a apropriação das formas tradicionais de um passado colonial, como também do seu discurso teórico, discutindo arte e técnica no pensamento contemporâneo. / [en] Within a given historical event, the International Expositions (also called World Fairs), two Brazilian s pavilions projects by architect Lucio Costa were selected for study, to the Philadelphia World Fair in 1926 and the New York World Fair in 1939, both in the United States. The analysis of the cultural context, the conformation of the architectural competition and finally the composition of the projects aims to connect the issue of national representation - program-specific of exposition pavilions - with the Brazilian architecture s discourse development in two different periods of its 20th century s history: the neo-colonial and modern period. As projects of the same architect, who has established himself as one of the greatest representatives of the profession in Brazil, the study is done in order to understand the formation of both his design practice, contemplating the appropriation of traditional forms of a colonial past, as well as his theoretical discourse, understanding art and technique in contemporary thought.

En España, al igual que en el resto de países europeos a finales del siglo XIX y principios del XX, se hace exhibición de "lo primitivo": personas (indígenas procedentes de los nuevos territorios colonizados) y objetos (piezas de arte y artefactos de la cultura material de los indígenas procedentes de las colonias). Algunas de estas muestras coinciden con las primeras exposiciones organizadas en España: Exposición General de las Islas Filipinas en Madrid (1887), Exposición Universal de Barcelona (1888) y Exposición Internacional de Barcelona (1929). El presente trabajo analiza la presencia o ausencia de "lo primitivo" (personas y objetos) en los principales acontecimientos expositivos españoles, su relación con acontecimientos homónimos en otros países europeos y su posible recepción en colecciones museísticas (museos de antropología, etnología y misionales). / In Spain, as in the rest of European countries at the end of the nineteenth century and beginning of the twentieth, aboriginal from the new colonized territories and "primitive" objects (art and artefacts from the material culture of the colonies) were also exhibited. Some of these events coincide with the first organized Exhibitions in Spain: General Exhibition of the Philippines Islands in Madrid (1887), Barcelona World Exhibition (1888) and Barcelona International Exhibition (1929). This work analyzes the presence or absence of "the primitive" (people and objects) in the major Spanish exhibitions, the relationship with similar events in other European countries and the possible reception in museum collections (museums of anthropology, ethnology and missionary).
