<p>This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams’ `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research. I will also show that it is obvious that all seven constraints or`aspects´ as I call them - namely purpose, technology, traditions,material resources, economy, environment and ideology - and the connections between them should be taken up in museum displays. It is first then that we can obtain a holistic view of what textiles have meant to people over time.</p>

Forskning på museer har de senaste åren varit en omdiskuterad företeelse och hur denna ska bedrivas. Den här undersökningen behandlar synen på forskning utifrån ett länsmuseum med utgångspunkt i basutställningen på museet. Att tolka informanternas svar var inte helt oproblematiskt alla gånger, men detta har inte bara varit en nackdel utan det har även lett till vissa slutsatser. Undersökningen har resulterat i en inblick i forskningssynen utifrån främst en viss arbetsgenre på museet och även argumenten för vissa urval som gjordes till basutställningen har påvisats. Det har sedan kunnat dras vissa slutsatser vad gäller forskningsbegreppet och den problematik som kretsar kring denna, samt om hur urvalsprocessen gått till. Bland annat tas frågan om definitionsproblematiken av forskningsbegreppet upp, och även vilka faktorer som spelar in i urvalet av material till den studerade utställningen. / Research in museums has during the recent years been a controversial phenomenon about how it should be conducted. This study deals with the perception of research in a county museum, based on the permanent exhibition at the museum. To interpret the informants' responses were not entirely unproblematic all times, but this has not only been a drawback, but has also led to some conclusions. The investigation has resulted in an insight to the research approach based on primarily one professional genre at the museum and also some selections that were made to the permanent exhibition has been demonstrated. It has thereof been drawn certain conclusions about the concept of scientific research and the problems that revolve around this and how the selection process worked out. Inter alia, the problematic of defining research is discussed, and also the factors that determine the selection of materials for the studied exhibit.

This paper addresses the need to review the modern presentation of textile archaeology in museums. It is time to look at textiles in archaeology with new eyes. The reality behind archaeological textilestudy is holistic, embracing many different aspects of society. The presentation of textiles has in my opinion become old-fashioned. I will show in my paper that Jonathan Adams’ `seven constraints´ model, developed for research on ancient ships, can also be applied to textile research. I will also show that it is obvious that all seven constraints or`aspects´ as I call them - namely purpose, technology, traditions,material resources, economy, environment and ideology - and the connections between them should be taken up in museum displays. It is first then that we can obtain a holistic view of what textiles have meant to people over time.

The goal of this project was to create a mobile structure in which a suite of paintings could be transported and viewed. When the structure and paintings are arranged as an "installation," they will create a more active role for a "viewer" who could then be defined as a "participant." The participant would be involved in the assembly of the environment and would find more opportunities for interaction in the assembled environment than he or she would in a traditional gallery or museum setting. A description and explanation of the processes involved in the creation of this project is preceded by a discussion of different historical, cultural, and methodological ways by which artwork is or has been presented. Also referenced are different artists and philosophies that informed this project. / Department of Art
