This study unites the burgeoning academic field of exhibition histories and the critiques of race-based exhibition practices that crystallised in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s. It concerns recent practices of presenting and contextualising black creativity in British publicly funded art museums and galleries that are part of a broader attempt to increase the diversity of histories and perspectives represented in public art collections and exhibitions. The research focuses on three concurrent 2010 exhibitions that aimed to offer a non-hegemonic reading of black creativity through the use of non-art-historical conceptual and alternative curatorial models: Afro Modern (Tate Liverpool), Action (The Bluecoat), and a retrospective of works by Chris Ofili (Tate Britain). Comparative exhibitions of the past were typically premised on concepts of difference that ultimately resulted in the notional separation of black artists from mainstream discourses on contemporary art and histories of British art. Through a close and critical textual analysis of these three recent exhibitions, which is informed by J.L. Austin’s theory of speech acts (1955), the study considers whether, and to what extent the delimiting curatorial practices of the past have been successfully abandoned by public art museums and galleries, and furthermore, whether it has been possible for British art institutions to reject the entrenched, exclusive conceptions of British culture that negated black contributions to the canon and narratives of British art in the first place. The exhibition case studies are complemented and contextualised by an in-depth history of the Bluecoat’s engagement with black creativity between 1976 and 2012, which provides a particular insight into the ways that debates about representation, difference and separatism have impacted the policies and practices of one culturally significant art gallery that is frequently overlooked in histories of black British art. With reference to the notion of legitimate coercion as defined by Zygmunt Bauman (2000), the study determines that long-standing hegemonic structures continue to inform the modes through which public art museums and galleries in Britain curate and control black creativity.

O trabalho analisa como a produção arquitetônica e a atuação política de quatro engenheiros contribuiu para o processo de modernização espacial da cidade de Campinas nas décadas de 1930 e 1940. O período estudado coincide com o momento de elaboração e implantação do Plano de Melhoramentos Urbanos, desenvolvido pelo urbanista Prestes Maia, sob encomenda do poder municipal. Entre o grupo restrito de atores envolvidos no projeto de modernização da cidade, destacou-se a participação dos engenheiros Eduardo Badaró, Hoche Néger Segurado, Lix da Cunha e Mário Penteado. O primeiro, funcionário da prefeitura, foi responsável pela implantação do plano, e os demais representavam os escritórios de engenharia mais operosos da cidade. Estuda a forma como a produção arquitetônica desses engenheiros foi realizada e investiga os fatores envolvidos no processo de sua constituição: referências artísticas e conceituais influenciadas pelos ecos tardios do embate teórico entre modernos e acadêmicos, travado nas primeiras décadas do século XX e que motivou engenheiros e arquitetos na busca por novos paradigmas inspirados nas vanguardas europeias; os meios materiais tendo no concreto armado um novo definidor do sistema construtivo; a herança das formações acadêmicas distintas; os jogos econômicos atrelados à industrialização da cidade; as estratégias políticas para a legitimação da implantação do plano de modernização urbana; as ações dos recém-fundados órgãos de classe no processo de afirmação da categoria profissional e, por fim, as demandas e aspirações de suas clientelas. Ao abordar as circunstâncias que envolveram a transformação do espaço urbano, tendo como corresponsáveis esses profissionais, a investigação dá ensejo a uma reflexão sobre ideias de modernidade que ultrapassam o campo das artes, que não obedecem a uma linha evolutiva homogênea e, sobretudo, que reconhecem a existência de várias categorias arquitetônicas, representantes das muitas correntes envolvidas em um processo de modernização mulltifacetado. / This paper analyses how the architectural production and political action of four engineers contributed to the spatial modernization process of the city of Campinas in the 1930s and 1940s. The studied period coincides with the time of the preparation and implementation of the Urban Improvement Plan, developed by the urban planner Prestes Maia and commissioned by the municipal power. Among the group of professionals involved in the modernization project of the city, the participation of the engineers Eduardo Badaró, Hoche Neger Segurado, Lix da Cunha and Mario Penteado stood out. The first engineer, who worked for the city hall, was responsible for implementing the plan, and the other engineers represented the most distinguished architecture offices in the city. It is of great interest to understand how the architectural production of these engineers was carried outand investigate the factors involved in its creation: conceptual and artistic references influenced by the late echoes of the clash between modern and academic in the early decades of the twentieth century that motivated engineers and architects in the search for new paradigms inspired by the European avant-gardes; the material resources having in the reinforced concrete a new determinant in the construction system; the inheritance of different academic backgrounds; the economic relations closely related to the industrialization of the city; the political strategies for the legitimation of the implementation of the urban modernization plan; the actions of the newly founded professional entities in the process of assertion of the professional category, and finally, the demands and aspirations of their clientele. By addressing the circumstances surrounding the transformation of the urban space, having these professionals as mutually responsible for all these changes, the investigation brings up a reflection on an idea of modernity that goes beyond the arts, does not follow a smooth evolutionary path and, above all, that recognizes the existence of various architectural categories, representing many streams of a multifaceted modernity.

Esta tese pretende investigar a produção da arquitetura no período entre as décadas de 1960-70. Adota como premissa inserir-se nas questões de cunho metodológico da história da arquitetura, partindo do entendimento de que a arquitetura é fruto da dialética entre a autonomia do projeto e o estado das forças produtivas em determinado momento histórico. As reflexões aqui propostas tentam articular múltiplas relações dentro do processo da produção da arquitetura - o que significa incluir desde a concepção, o desenho, o canteiro e até mesmo seu uso - corroborando para um entendimento mais amplo, aquém da própria disciplina da arquitetura. O Parque Anhembi, um centro de exposições ligado ao turismo de negócios em São Paulo, permite analisar três níveis de produção: a industrialização da estrutura metálica, a pré-fabricação do concreto e a adoção de novas tecnologias do concreto armado executado no canteiro, temas que podem caracterizar a \"pluralidade\" da produção do período pós-Brasilia, ou mesmo, explicitar a preocupação construtiva que intermediava muitas pranchetas naquele momento. A possibilidade que se abre na investigação do objeto tido como uma nova centralidade urbana e a analise de como seria possível abarcar o tema das práticas projetuais naquele momento em que se fortalecia uma relação importante entre urbanismo, arquitetura, engenharia e construção no meio da busca de uma nova produção. Busca que continha um discurso político e ideológico sobre o seu tempo suscitados principalmente pelas questões urbanas evidenciadas com máxima urgência. / This thesis intends to investigate the production of architecture in the Between the decades of 1960-70. It is a premise that it should be included in the Methodological approach in the history of architecture, starting from the understanding that architecture is Of the dialectic between the autonomy of the project and the state of the productive forces in Certain historical moment. The reflections proposed here attempt to articulate multiple Relationships within the architecture production process - which means including from the Design, design, and even use - corroborating Understanding, rather than the discipline of architecture itself. Anhembi Park, an exhibition center linked to tourism Business in São Paulo, allows us to analyze three levels of production: the industrialization of Structure, the pre-fabrication of concrete and the adoption of new Reinforced concrete executed in the bed, themes that can characterize the \"plurality\" Of the post-Brasilia period, or even to explain the constructive concern Which interwoven many boards at that moment. The possibility that opens in the Investigation of the object considered as a new urban centrality and the analysis of how It would be possible to embrace the theme of the design practices at that moment in which Strengthened an important relationship between urbanism, architecture, engineering and construction. In the middle of the search for a new production. It sought to contain a political discourse and Ideological issues about their time that have been raised mainly by urban Evidenced with maximum urgency.

Cette thèse retrace l’histoire des expositions temporaires à caractère artistique organisées aux Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (GNGP) entre 1966 et 2005. Les analyses sur le contexte historique, politique et social et sur la politique artistique internationale en France révèlent que le pouvoir publique contribue à cette histoire des expositions dès l’origine : il soutient et institutionnalise des expositions temporaires en tant qu’action culturelle de l’État. La mise en oeuvre des expositions est coordonnée principalement par trois organismes publiques : la Réunion des Musées nationaux (RMN), l’Association française d’Action artistique, et les administrations pour l’art contemporain. Sous le titre de grande exposition prestigieuse, chacune de ces expositions a été un moyen pour illustrer une célébration commémorative, une belle relation diplomatique avec l’étranger et une présentation de recherches scientifiques et de politique de patrimoine. De la volonté d’échanges artistiques avec des musées étrangers a résulté l’internationalisation des expositions temporaires, la professionnalisation de la RMN en la matière. Le développement des recherches en histoire de l’art en collaboration avec ces musées étrangers est une conséquence évidente. Toutes ces orientations apparentent les Galeries nationales du Grand Palais à une institution culturelle phare au centre de la capitale en affirmant leur place parmi les grands musées parisiens. Ce travail se focalise également sur la gestion organisatrice, introduite dans la pratique de l’organisation d’expositions aux GNGP notamment pour : l’entretien et la muséographie des collections, le financement des expositions et l’accueil des publics. On constate aussi une professionnalisation des métiers concernant l’organisation d’expositions, pendant ces années. Cette thèse présente le développement de grandes expositions organisées dans un cadre institutionnel, le goût des grands publics pour des expositions artistiques. Elle nous permet également de comprendre l’évolution des expositions temporaires muséales dans la seconde moitié du XXème siècle. / This thesis presents an investigation on the history of temporary art exhibitions at the Galeries nationales du Grand Palais (GNGP) between 1966 and 2005. The analysis of the historical, political and socialistic background and the international artistic policy of France show that the government has played a central role in the development of art exhibitions at the GNGP : the government has encouraged and institutionalized art exhibitions as one of its cultural policy. These exhibitions were mostly planned by three public institutions; Réunion des Musées Nationaux (RMN), Association française d’Action artistique, and the institution for contemporary arts. Each exhibition named as a major representation has been taken place for the commemoration and the presentation of friendly diplomatic relations with foreign countries. Some exhibitions announced academic achievements in art history and outcomes of museum and cultural heritage policies. The enhancement policy of the cultural exchange with foreign museums has led to the internationalization of artexhibitions, and the development of the RMN specialized for the planning of international art exhibitions. This policyalso contributes to the art history research development through the academic collaboration with foreign museums. These grand exhibitions that took place at the GNGP have contributed to make the GNGP as a major cultural institution in the centre of capital city, comparable to other main museums of Paris. This works also discusses the introduction of management for running exhibitions at the GNGP. First, this management included the systematic care and presentationof collections, then the funding of exhibitions and even more the reception of visitors. Moreover, during these years, there has arisen a professionalization of jobs related to art exhibition planning and operation. This thesis presents the development of grand art exhibitions organised in the frame of the public administrations, public audiences for fine arts exhibition, and also allows the understanding of the development of the temporary museum exhibitions held in thesecond half of the twentieth century.

Thesis work «Specificity of the contemporary historical museum expositions» is devoted to the analysis of the actual for the XXI century process of transformation of the modern museum appearance based on a new ideas of the exhibition artists. Greater emphasis is laid on a contemporary museum conceptions that were developed on the West in XX-XXI century. Unfortunately, they are not well-known to native reader, so work was undertaken to translate books in English into Russian. The deepened classification of the historical museum exhibition was created on the base of foreign materials. Application of exhibition techniques described in the dissertation will increase attractiveness of Ekaterinbourgs museums. In instance of depiction and analysis achievements in construction museum exhibition created by foreign artists, thesis presents and investigates museum areas, created by Ekaterinbourgs group of exhibition designers and artists «The white square» and «Museum technologies» and a huge studio of creators from the Urals regional institute of museum design. Comparative study European styles and artists creative scripts of constructing the exhibition with ones, made by Ekaterinbourgs artists, distinguishes global and local problems, which appear during the design, creation and construction of exhibition. The dissertation tries to solve some of the declared problems and to offer ways of development the art of museum exhibition. The practical significance of the thesis is in the fact that it can be used as an instruction to the museum exhibition design and construction. / Магистерская диссертация «Специфика экспозиций современных исторических музеев» посвящена анализу актуального для XXI века процесса смены изменения облика современного музея на основе новых идей художников-экспозиционеров. В исследовании уделяется внимание современным концепциям, которые были разработаны на Западе в конце XX – начале XXI века. К сожалению, они малоизвестны отечественному читателю, поэтому была проведена работа по переводу английских текстов на русский язык. На основании материалов зарубежных авторов создалась более углубленная схема классификации экспозиций исторических музеев. Применение некоторых предложенных техник в наших музеях увеличит их привлекательность для посетителей. На примере описания и анализа достижений в создании экспозиций зарубежными коллегами, в магистерской диссертации представлены и исследованы музейные пространства, созданные екатеринбургскими коллективами экспозиционеров «Белый квадрат» и «Музейные технологии», а также бригадой Уральского регионального института музейных проектов. Сопоставление европейских стилей и школ создания экспозиции с отечественными методами помогло выявить общие и частные проблемы, с которыми сталкиваются художники-экспозиционеры при дизайне экспозиций. В исследовании предпринята попытка к решению поднятых проблем, намечены векторы развития экспозиционного искусства. Практическая значимость исследования заключается в том, что оно может быть использовано в качестве пособия по созданию музейной экспозиции.
