A arte brasileira durante a década de 1970 se destacou pelo alto grau de experimentalismo e de contestação aos cânones tanto artísticos como museológicos. As exposições anuais Panorama da Arte Atua Brasileira e Jovem Arte Contemporânea, organizadas respectivamente pelo Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo e pelo Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo, se dedicaram a expor e legitimar determinadas tendências da arte dita jovem e atual durante esse período. A análise comparativa proposta por essa pesquisa revela e discute os mecanismos de seleção, organização, premiação e apresentação de obras em ambas as exposições. O foco da pesquisa dá-se no ano de 1972, momento em que a edição da Jovem Arte Contemporânea apresenta grandes inovações, ano de intenso crescimento do mercado de artes paulistano, auge da repressão militar e em que o Panorama discute as categorias escultura e objeto. Buscou-se analisar as exposições dentro desse contexto maior, apontando como referências os encontros internacionais de diretores de museus e outras exposições paradigmáticas para o período realizadas na Europa e na América Latina. / Brazilian art from the 1970s is known for its high degree of experimentation and for challenging both artistic and museological canons. The annual exhibitions Panorama da Arte atual Brasileira and Jovem Arte Contemporânea, organized respectively by the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo and the Museum of Contemporary Art of the University of São Paulo, are dedicated to exposing and legitimizing certain art trends during this period. The comparative analysis proposed by this research reveals and discusses the mechanisms of selection, organization, and presentation works in both exhibitions. The focus of the research takes place in 1972, when the show Jovem Arte Contemporânea presents major innovations and the Panorama discusses sculpture and object categories, the year is also marked by intense growth of the a São Paulo art market, the increase of military repression. We sought to examine the exhibitions within this larger context, taking as references the discussions that occurred in the international encounters of museums directors, and also other paradigmatic exhibitions for the period held in Europe and Latin America.

A pesquisa apresenta um levantamento de dados sobre o tratamento documental de coleções fotográficas em museus de arte, após a incorporação da fotografia em seus acervos. Foram selecionados, como estudos de caso, os seguintes museus de arte de São Paulo: Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, Museu Lasar Segall e o Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo. A pesquisa é contextualizada através da compilação de dados sobre os caminhos institucionais para preservação da fotografia e sobre o processo de assimilação da fotografia pelos museus de arte, evidenciado a partir da segunda metade do século XX. No caso dos museus de arte, pode-se observar que cada instituição percorreu uma trajetória para incorporar e documentar fotografias. Utilizam atualmente sistemas informatizados e bancos de dados como métodos de documentação e enfrentam a problemática de classificar e documentar as fotografias da coleção detalhadamente, devido à diversidade da arte contemporânea que faz uso da linguagem fotográfica, bem como da fotografia produzida na contemporaneidade. A variedade de processos e técnicas relacionados à fotografia e o hibridismo entre tipologias artísticas fazem da documentação de fotografias nos museus de arte um trabalho em constante aperfeiçoamento. / The research presents a survey of data about the documentary treatment of the photographic collections in art museums, after the incorporation of photograph in your holdings. It were selected, as case studies, the following São Paulo art museums: Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo, Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand, Museu Lasar Segall and Museu de Arte Contemporânea da Universidade de São Paulo. The research is contextualized by compiling data about institutional paths for preservation of photography and about the process of assimilation of photography by art museums, evidenced from the second half of the 20th century. In the case of art museums, it can be seen that each institution traveled a trajectory for incorporate and documenting photographs. They currently use computerized systems and databases as methods of documentation and face the problematic of classifying and documenting the photographs of the collection in detail, because of the diversity of contemporary art that makes use of the photographic language and the photography produced in contemporary times. The variety of processes and techniques related to photography and hybridism between artistic typologies make of the documentation of photography in art museums a work in constant improvement.

O recorte temporal está concentrado entre os anos de 1940, período da criação desses museus, e o percurso dos seus respectivos acervos até o início da década de 60. Por meio das diferenças e semelhanças das configurações dos museus públicos e daqueles formados por colecionadores particulares que se tornaram associações de direito civil, apresenta que, se por um lado os museus públicos propõem acervos representativos da nacionalidade, por outro, nos de formação privada, os interesses de particulares e dos grupos associados sobressaem em forma de vocação personalista. Esses "museus de arte" foram analisados a partir de uma extensa revisão da historiografia que abordaram o tema da formação dos referidos museus e, principalmente, na crítica das fontes primárias pertencentes aos arquivos institucionais originais, tendo como estudo de caso a primeira fase do Museu de Arte Moderna de São Paulo. As relações entre a constituição dos museus de arte e o entendimento da preservação, delinearam perfis que demonstram como era a conjuntura para as práticas de preservação dessas obras de arte. E, nesse ponto, tanto os de interesse público quanto privados convergem para a mesma problemática, a indefinição de critérios e de políticas de conservação dos acervos. / Abstract: The objective of this dissertation is the study of the connections which were established between the formation and the heritage preservation of the first Brazilian art museums which incorporated modern works of art - the National Fine-Arts Museum in Rio de Janeiro, Assis Chateaubriand Art Museum in São Paulo and the Modern Art Museums in São Paulo and in Rio de Janeiro. The time frame is between the 1940's, when these museums were created and their corresponding heritage journeys until the beginning of the 1960's. Through the analysis of the similarities and differences in arrangement among the public museums and the ones which were created by private art collectors and became civil associations, it is clear that, on one hand the public museums propose heritages that represent the nationality. On the other hand, in the private arrangements, the interests of the private investors and associated groups' concerns stand out as a personalist vocation. These "art museums" analyses were based on a thorough review of the historiography which mentioned the conception of such museums, particularly on the criticism of the primary sources which belonged to the original institutional archives. The first phase of the Modern Art Museum in São Paulo was the study case. The connections between the art museums creation and the preservation awareness outlined profiles that demonstrated what the state of affairs concerning preservation practices of these works of art was like. And, regarding this point, both private and public interests converge to the same question: the heritage preservation criterion and policies weren't defined. / Mestrado / Politica, Memoria e Cidade / Mestre em História

Master's thesis deals with consumerism in culture. Thesis analyzes cultural institutions and the way they are influenced by consumer society and the requirements of the general public -- the masses. The first part defines the term of culture, consumerism and consumer society. Next part discuss Culture in meaning of Art and permeation of consumerism into the selected domain of culture -- theaters, cultural centers and museums (art galleries). The final part of thesis demonstrates the influence of spectators and visitors to the specific selected representatives of Brno's cultural scene. The survey was conducted through interviews with representatives of Reduta Theater, theater for children Polárka Theater, Cultural Center Semilasso and Wannieck Gallery, currently renamed Richard Adam Gallery.

The aim of my diploma thesis is the exploration of the fine arts presentation options and methods with a focus on contemporary fine arts in context of the museums of art. The main terms concerning the topic are defined in my work prior to the main research of the museums of art and the presentation of fine arts. In the beginning of my work the reader can familiarize himself with the historical development of art museums from its genesis until the present form of this institution. Following the research part I am explaining the main aspects relevant to the presentation of fine arts, such as the spatial character of art museums and the evolution of its design. One part of my work is focused on a role of curator, who is a very important figure in the presentation of fine arts. The main basis of art museum are its art collections, which are transformed into long-term exhibitions. On the other hand, the museum should also manage the production of temporary exhibitions which plays an essential role in the presentation of fine arts in the last few decades. The methods and technique of installations are no less important for the presentation. All these aspects are described in my diploma thesis and supported by concrete examples from various museums. In the last part of my work, the theoretical thesis are applied on a specific example of an institution with the largest art collection in our country - Veletržní palác.

Museums and libraries are considered large repositories of human knowledge and human culture. They have similar missions and goals in distributing accumulated knowledge to society. Current digitization projects allow both, museums and libraries to reach a broader audience, share their resources with a variety of users. While studies of information seeking behavior, retrieval systems and metadata in library science have a long history; such research studies in museum environments are at their early experimental stage. There are few studies concerning information seeking behavior and needs of virtual museum visitors, especially with the use of images in the museums' collections available on the Web. The current study identifies preferences of a variety of user groups about the information specifics on current exhibits, museum collections metadata information, and the use of multimedia. The study of information seeking behavior of users groups of museum digital collections or cultural collections allows examination and analysis of users' information needs, and the organization of cultural information, including descriptive metadata and the quantity of information that may be required. In addition, the study delineates information needs that different categories of users may have in common: teachers in high schools, students in colleges and universities, museum professionals, art historians and researchers, and the general public. This research also compares informational and educational needs of real visitors with the needs of virtual visitors. Educational needs of real visitors are based on various studies conducted and summarized by Falk and Dierking (2000), and an evaluation of the art museum websites previously conducted to support the current study.

This thesis discusses the relatively new approach of art education, by paralleling it to Marxist ideology on art. The Dallas Arts District is one example of a city where museum art education is in conflict: being adopted more vigorously by some and with less acceptance by others. In order to provide a glimpse into the museum ideology of downtown Dallas, previous schools of thought regarding the role of curators and the introduction of educators into museums will be detailed, as well as conflicts between these two factions. The following questions will be addressed: Is museum art education truly a movement which strives to infuse the American culture with a greater appreciation of art? Is there a link to overcoming Marx's key issue of class? How is the movement affecting the Dallas Arts District and to what extent is museum art education being utilized within this forum? Is the emphasis toward museum art education greater in Dallas than in other large cities across the United States, and if so, how has that affected the cities' patrons?

The purpose of this action research study was to determine how a critical theory curriculum implemented in a college-level art appreciation course impacted student understanding of an encyclopedic art museum. A critical theory-based curriculum unit was designed and implemented, and students were given assignments to assess their learning. The most significant assignment centered on a self-guided student visit to the art museum in which students made detailed observations of the museum spaces and responded to articles critiquing museum practices. These documents, together with class discussions and my personal observations, were analyzed and described in this research study. The data revealed that students had a high level of regard for and interest in art museums, were capable of understanding how history and context influences museum practices, detected multiple instances of bias in art museum galleries, and self-reported high levels of cognition and empowerment based on their experiences. The data suggested that, in college students, both art appreciation instructors and museum educators have an ideal audience in which to facilitate sustained, higher-level, critical theory-based museum learning experiences.
