Esta pesquisa teve por objetivo compreender e analisar os movimentos de constituição de autoria dos profissionais que assumem o papel de conceptores em museus de ciências no processo de produção do discurso expositivo. Consideramos que o discurso expositivo diz respeito não somente aos saberes dos sujeitos envolvidos na concepção e no desenvolvimento das exposições, mas se refere também às condições de produção que caracterizam o processo como um todo e os sentidos atribuídos na materialização desse discurso. A abordagem metodológica utilizou o referencial das pesquisas qualitativas em educação e teve como foco a exposição de longa duração do Museu de Microbiologia do Instituto Butantan (SP). O referencial teórico adotado tem por base os pressupostos da abordagem sócio-histórica para o estudo da linguagem de Mikhail Bakhtin e seu Círculo, que evidencia características dialógicas em diferentes meios textuais e se objetiva como acontecimento concreto relacionado às condições que circunscrevem a vida dos sujeitos e as posições por eles assumidas. Para a análise, recorremos às contribuições que auxiliam a abordar o princípio de autoria na produção discursiva, tais como dialogismo, enunciado, horizontes sociais, alteridade, vozes e o conceito de gênero. A pesquisa fundamentou-se em duas etapas complementares e articuladas entre si que integram os procedimentos metodológicos. Na primeira etapa, investiu-se no estudo das exposições dos museus de ciências enquanto esfera de atividade na qual emerge o nosso objeto de investigação, onde foram utilizadas discussões sobre as concepções de educação e comunicação nessa unidade particular. A segunda etapa procurou focalizar a dimensão enunciativo-discursiva das produções discursivas dos profissionais que participam da concepção e do desenvolvimento da exposição de longa duração do Museu de Microbiologia. A partir do estudo realizado, situado por um breve histórico e o contexto de emergência do Museu de Microbiologia no Instituto Butantan, a exposição de longa duração do Museu foi descrita e foram analisados aspectos do seu processo de constituição, como as contrapalavras presentes na concepção da exposição, a estrutura composicional, com ênfase nos textos e nos objetos, e a presença do outro na produção do discurso expositivo. Os resultados obtidos demonstram a existência de especificidades nos movimentos de constituição de autoria desse evento discursivo, que o tornam singular na maneira como expressa a articulação entre as condições sociais de produção, os conhecimentos, os sentidos atribuídos pelos conceptores e seus interlocutores. Um aspecto observado se relaciona ao modo como a dimensão temporal e espacial é incorporada no discurso expositivo e condiciona os atributos e sentidos expressos nos textos e objetos. Outro aspecto se relaciona às vozes que caracterizam os discursos das diversas esferas sociais (científica, educativa, estético-espacial, entre outras) e que se deixam entrever por meio de marcas que se manifestam no discurso expositivo. Com base nas analises realizadas postula-se que exposição de museus de ciências poderia ser considerada um gênero de discurso de caráter híbrido, do ponto de vista enunciativo-discursivo. / The objective of this research is to understand and analyze the authorship constitution movements of professionals who play the role of designers in the production process of the expository discourse in science museums. We believe that the exhibition discourse concerns not only the knowledge of the subjects involved in the design and in the development of the exhibitions, but also refers to the production conditions that characterize the process as a whole, as well as to the meanings attributed during the materialization of this discourse. The methodological approach used the framework of qualitative research in education, and focused on the long-term exhibition at the Museum of Microbiology of the Instituto Butantan (SP). The theoretical approach is based on the assumptions of socio-historical approach to the study of language of Mikhail Bakhtin and his Circle, which shows dialogical characteristics in different textual media and results as a concrete event related to the conditions that circumscribe the lives of individuals and the positions assumed by them. For this analysis we used the contributions that help addressing the principle of authorship in the discursive production, such as dialogism, statement, social horizons, otherness, voices and the concept of gender. The research was based on two complementary and articulated steps that integrate the methodological procedures. On the first step we invested in the study of exhibitions in science museums as a sphere of activity in which the object of our research emerges, where discussions on the concepts of education and communication were used in this particular unit. The second stage sought to focus the enunciative-discursive dimension of discursive productions of professionals participating in the design and development of the long-term exhibition of the Museum of Microbiology. From this study, in which a brief historical background and the emerging context of the Museum of Microbiology at the Butantan Institute were established, the long-term exhibition at the Museum was described and aspects of its constitutional process, such as the counter words present in the design of the exhibition, the compositional structure with emphasis on the texts and objects and the presence of the other in the production of expository discourse were analyzed. The results show that there are specificities in the authorship constitution movements of this discursive event, which makes it unique in the way that it expresses the relationship between social conditions of production, knowledge, the senses attributed by designers and their interlocutors. A noticeable aspect relates to how the space and time dimension is incorporated into the exhibition discourse and determines the attributes and meanings expressed in the text and objects. Another aspect relates to the voices which characterize the discourses of different social spheres (scientific, educational, aesthetic, spatial, among others) and that afford a glimpse through marks that are expressed in the exhibition discourse. Based on the analysis performed it is believed that exhibitions in science museums could be considered a kind of discourse, hybrid in nature in terms of enunciative-discursive.

A investigação consiste em um estudo exploratório sobre a atuação das práticas avaliatórias em exposição de arte. Para tanto, busca-se contextualizar a exposição de arte, com base nas mudanças ocorridas na arte nas últimas quatro décadas. Procura-se introduzir a arte contemporânea por meio da apresentação de seu sistema, tornando aparente a inter-relação de seus elementos constituintes. Separados em capítulos na Parte I, os elementos do sistema foram descritos de maneira a confrontá-los uns com os outros: a perda da autoria do artista, que a divide com o espectador; a obra se completa com o espectador; ao espectador não cabe mais a passividade, ele é envolvido, passa a participar, torna-se parte integrante da obra; o mercado é agente de circulação, possibilitando o confronto da obra com a dinâmica do sistema; as instituições tornam-se espaço de intervenção, elemento integrante da manifestação artística; a crítica une-se à prática artística assumindo os riscos da produção, enquanto a história é colocada em xeque e a teoria é tomada pelos artistas; a mediação obra-espectador é executada pelo curador o qual atua lado a lado com a prática artística e o educador facilita o momento da experiência estética; por fim, a exposição é a síntese destes elementos, demonstrando a interação entre eles no espaço expositivo. Deste modo, torna-se aparente a complexidade do meio em que está inserida a exposição, mostrando-se como processo, como reflexo da instabilidade da contemporaneidade. A exposição sintetiza a atuação dos elementos do sistema apresentando-se enquanto tal, levando a uma reflexão amplificada do contexto contemporâneo da arte no qual o processo de avaliação de exposição faz parte. A avaliação realizada no ambiente expositivo concentra-se na análise de seus públicos para aprimoramento da qualidade da experiência da visita no museu. Uma análise paralela das avaliações aplicadas em projetos sociais permite uma visão mais abrangente da avaliação como instrumento de gestão. Amplia-se, por fim, a visão do contexto da exposição de arte, levando a um posicionamento mais crítico frente a este contexto, demonstrando a exposição avaliada como parte de uma complexidade maior que é o próprio sistema a qual ela pertence. / This research is an exploratory investigation of the evaluation practices applied to art exhibition. To do so, the study intends to contextualize art exhibition, considering the changes in art during the last four decades. It presents contemporary art as a system, showing the inter-relation among its elements. These elements were divided into chapters, in Part I, to describe each one, and, where possible, to confront one with the other: the loss of authority by the artist, who shares the authority with the spectator; the work of art is completed with the spectators participation; the spectator abandons a passive attitude and gets involved, participating and being part of the art work; the art market is a circulation agent of the art work, the art market makes it possible the confront the art work and the system dynamics; the art institutions becomes a space for interventions, part of the artistic manifestations; art criticism joins art practice assuming the production risks, while art history is kept in check and the art theory is claimed by the artists; the mediation between artwork and spectator is done by the curator, who works side-by-side with the artists practice and the educator, who facilitates the moment of aesthetic experience; at last, the exhibition is the synthesis of all these elements above, showing the interaction among the elements of the system at the exhibition space. Therefore, the complexity of the context where the exhibition is shown becomes emphasized, presenting the exhibition as a process, as a reflex of an unstable contemporaneity. The exhibition synthesizes the interaction among the elements of the system to constitute itself, turning into an expanding reflection about the context of contemporary art, in which the exhibition evaluation is part. The evaluation performed in the exhibition spaces focuses on the analysis of the public to improve the quality of the visit in the museum. A parallel analysis of social project evaluations makes it possible to build a broader view of how this management tool is used. Finally, the view of the art exhibition context is expanded; proposing a more critical attitude towards this context, showing that the evaluation of an exhibition is part of a larger complexity, which is the art system itself to which it belongs.

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.

The thesis was conducted as the master thesis for a Master's in innovation and design. The aim of this thesis was to investigate in what ways scent can be used as an olfactory stimulation within exhibitions and to access the possible effects that occur from bridging historical contexts with scent within the exhibitions – as a tool for embodied storytelling. The olfactory study focuses on Leksmedjan Smetuna in Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna. The thesis theoretical framework presents theories on sense of smell, museum experiences, storytelling, and embodied storytelling. A space analysis and a qualitative interview with a museum pedagogue at Västermanland´s county museum. An observational smellscape with different scented elements is conducted as well, with visiting children at Leksmedjan Smetuna in Rademachersmedjorna – where children get the chance to experience historical scents from the 17th century, through their sense of smell. This with the aim to visualize the physical-, emotional- and social effects that occur during children´s sensory museum experiences. The scented elements for the observational smellscapes were designed and produced during the thesis design process and are based on theoretical and empirical data collection. The results of the thesis bring forth important perspectives regarding children´s sensory museum experiences that incorporate scented elements. / Examensarbetet genomförs som ett examensarbete för en Master i innovation och design. Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka på vilka sätt doft kan användas som luktstimulering inom utställningar, samt att visualisera möjliga effekter som uppstår genom att överbrygga historiska sammanhang med hjälp av doft inom utställningar – som ett verktyg för embodied storytelling. Doftstudien fokuserar på Leksmedjan Smetuna i Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna. Studiens teoretiska ramverk presenterar teorier om människans luktsinne, museiupplevelser, storytelling med en fördjupning av embodied storytelling. Studiens empiriska metodarbete utgörs av en rumsanalys och en kvalitativ intervju med en museipedagog på Västermanlands länsmuseum. Metodarbetet inkluderar även en observerande smellscapes med besökande barn på Leksmedjan Smetuna i Rademachersmedjorna, Eskilstuna – där barnen får chansen att uppleva historiska dofter från 1600-talet, genom sitt luktsinne. Detta i syfte att visualisera de fysiska-, emotionella- och sociala effekterna som uppstår under barns sensoriska museiupplevelser av studiens doftelement. Doftelementen som ingår i studiens observerade smellscapes, designades och producerades under studiens designprocess och baseras på den teoretisk och empirisk datainsamling. Studiens resultat lyfter fram viktiga perspektiv på barns sensoriska museiupplevelser som innehåller doftelement.

XX amžiaus antroje pusėje juvelyrikai priartėjus prie kitų vaizduojamojo meno rūšių, papuošalui tapus meno kūriniu, išreiškiančiu individualią kūrėjo poziciją, ir pradėjus rengti specializuotas juvelyrikos parodas, iškilo juvelyrikos eksponavimo reikšmė. Problematiškumas slypi srities specifikoje (dažnai maži mąsteliai, brangių medžiagų naudojimas) bei santykyje su kūnu, nes dėvėjimas yra esminis papuošalo suvokimui. Todėl įprastas juvelyrikos eksponavimas stiklinėse vitrinose netenkina juvelyrikos, kuriamos postmodernaus meno principais. Darbo tikslas – išanalizuoti galimas meninės juvelyrikos eksponavimo strategijas pasitelkiant trumpalaikių meninės juvelyrikos parodų pavyzdžius iš Lietuvos bei užsienio nuo XX a. 8 dešimtmečio iki šių dienų. Tyrimas nėra istorinio pobūdžio: juvelyrikos parodos nėra analizuojamos chronologiniu principu ar kaip vientisas reiškinys, procesas, kuriame galima užfiksuoti tam tikrą raidą. Nagrinėjamos trumpalaikės personalinės ir grupinės juvelyrikos parodos, nes jose gali būti įgyvendinti tokie ekspoziciniai sprendimai, kurie netinkami ilgalaikėms muziejų ekspozicijoms. Tyrimu siekiama išsiaiškinti, kaip juvelyrikos eksponavimas veikia pačių kūrinių supratimą, priėmimą ir turinį, kokios skirtingos juvelyrikos eksponavimo praktikos naudojamos, koks yra žiūrovo ryšys su papuošalu parodos metu bei kaip skirtingi eksponavimo būdai lemia šį ryšį, koks žiūrovo santykis su ekspozicija. Magistrinio darbo struktūra paremta skirtingų juvelyrikos parodose... [toliau žr. visą tekstą] / Contemporary jewellery cannot be dissociated from developments in the fine art. In the second part of the 20th century jewellery started to be considered as an art form which can express the individuality of an artist. During that time the first specialized jewellery exhibitions were held and since then the attention was drawn to the importance of how objects are displayed in the exhibition. What makes exhibiting jewellery difficult is its connection to the body - wearability is the essence of it. In addition, usually jewellery is small scale and made of precious materials. As a result, typical showcases made of glass are no longer satisfying for displaying art jewellery. The aim of this research is to analyze possible strategies of how art jewellery can be presented. The examples of temporary jewellery exhibitions, both personal and group, from Lithuania and abroad from the 1970s to the present are included. The research is not historical and based on chronology, jewellery exhibitions are not seen as a continuous phenomenon with clear evolution. Temporary exhibitions offer a possibility of to putting into practice such display solutions which would not be suitable for permanent museum displays. This paper looks into the questions such as what kind of different display strategies are used to exhibit jewellery, how the display affects the perception of the artworks, what the relation between the viewer and the jewellery work in the exhibition is, how display influences this...

Museums are culturally constructed as places dedicated to tastemaking, preservation, historical record, and curation. Yet the contemporary isn’t yet absorbed by history, so as museums incorporate contemporary art these commonly accepted functions are disrupted. Through case studies, this thesis examines the successes and failures of three New York museums (MoMA, Dia:Beacon and New Museum) as they grapple with the challenging, perhaps irresolvable, tension between the contemporary and the very idea of the museum.

This thesis summarizes Danielle Riede's current art practice by detailing her materials, processes and inspiration. It also contextualizes her "Room Paintings" within the context of art history and contemporary art-making.
