Institutional history of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art : tensions, paradoxes and compromises

Galastro, Anne Bernadette January 2012 (has links)
This study provides the first comprehensive account of the institutional history of the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art (SNGMA) from the earliest calls for its foundation at the start of the twentieth century to the recent series of exhibitions marking its fiftieth anniversary in 2010. The SNGMA is both a unique case‐study and a useful illustrative example of the specific category of modern art museum: the account of its history sets the institution within its wider cultural context and explores the inevitable complexities facing a public gallery devoted to modern art. The study examines how the institution has balanced the need to represent a full historical survey of modern art with the desire to engage with the contemporary, and how it has addressed the question of collecting and displaying the work of Scottish artists alongside international art. By providing a close documentary analysis of the evolution of the institution, drawn from within the Gallery’s own archives, combined with extended reflections on the central dilemmas it has had to face, the study constitutes an original contribution to museum scholarship. Various methodologies are employed to assess the diverse factors that have affected the institution’s development. The narrative confirms the close correlation between the architectural frame and the public perception of the institution. It traces the evolution of the acquisitions policy and notes how this shaped the permanent collection, allowing a shift from an aspiration to universal coverage of the international trends of 20th century art to a more targeted specialisation in certain areas, primarily Dada and Surrealism. It charts the attitudes towards temporary exhibitions and the display of the permanent collection, and examines these in the light of current exhibition theory and practice. The analysis concludes that the SNGMA has been largely successful at achieving the aims and ambitions it originally defined for itself, although its role is constantly evolving in response to changes in the broader context of art museums.

A mediação cultural e a construção de uma vanguarda institucional: o caso da arte construtiva brasileira / Cultural mediation and the building of an institutional vanguard: the case of the brazilian constructive art

Bottallo, Marilucia 08 June 2011 (has links)
O presente trabalho levanta questões sobre algumas formas particulares de estruturação de um sistema profissional de produção cultural para as artes plásticas no eixo Rio de Janeiro São Paulo no período que coincide com um momento de florescimento político e econômico e se fortalece a partir da segunda metade dos anos 1940 e ao longo das décadas de 1950/1960. No que concerne especialmente aos museus de arte moderna, observou-se um fortalecimento institucional em torno do qual o sistema artístico brasileiro se estruturou. Para se chegar a essa conclusão foram analisados os aspectos estruturais (econômicos e políticos) centrados no eixo Rio de Janeiro São Paulo, e conjunturais, a partir das particularidades do fenômeno da arte da vanguarda construtiva brasileira. Foram consideradas as visões dos artistas nacionais em relação tanto à questão da arte de vanguarda como na sua relação com o museu. Consideramos, também, a Bienal como instituição, seu vínculo com os artistas e com o próprio MAM/SP no processo de divulgação da arte. Avaliamos a ação artística, peculiar pela presença das vanguardas construtivas, que envolvia grande participação dos artistas no cotidiano museológico. Além disso, consideramos o estreito diálogo que havia com os críticos que atuavam em veículos de comunicação. Como parte fundamental do estabelecimento de um sistema profissional de produção cultural, avaliamos a consolidação de um mercado de arte com base na atuação de marchands e na criação de galerias privadas em uma ação ainda não muito distinta daquela dos museus. Os movimentos concreto e neoconcreto, na medida em que se caracterizam como vanguardas artísticas e sua atuação permitiu a mobilização do suposto sistema em torno das discussões sobre suas novas propostas éticas e estéticas, foram considerados pontualmente. / This thesis raises issues on some specific ways of structuring a professional system of cultural production for the arts in the circuit Rio de Janeiro São Paulo coincident to a moment of political and economical emergence that gets stronger from the middle of the 1940s and during the 1950/1960 decades. Regarding in special the museums of modern art, it was observed an institutional strengthening around which the Brazilian artistic system was structured. To reach that conclusion structural aspects the economics and politics in the circuit Rio de Janeiro São Paulo as well as situational ones were considered on the specificities of the phenomenon of the Brazilian constructive vanguard art. We also considered the vision of the national artists on the art of vanguard and its relation to the museum. Also, we considered the Bienal and its relation with the artists and with the Museum of Modern Art of São Paulo itself in the process of divulging the art. We evaluate the artistic action, peculiar because of the presence of the constructive vanguards, and that involved a great participation of the artists on the museum day-to-day. Besides that we consider as well the close dialogue with the critics who worked on the vehicles of mass communication. As a fundamental part of the establishing of a professional system of cultural production, we evaluate the consolidation of an art market based on the activities of the dealers and the creation of private galleries in one action not yet very much distinct from that of the museums. The concrete and neoconcrete movements were specially considered because as artistic vanguard, their performances enabled the mobilization of the supposed system around the discussions on its new ethical and aesthetic proposals.
