31	The Silent University at Tensta konsthall : From educational platform to community building activities Saarnak, Katinka January 2023 (has links) This thesis analyzes the decade-long collaboration between The Silent University and Tensta konsthall, investigating its role as a lasting, solidarity driven, educational, socially engaged art project within an art institution. Utilizing qualitative methods and institutional ethnography, the study examines the relationship between The Silent University within Tensta konsthall. The research uses three guiding questions: 1) How can The Silent University and its integration into Tensta konsthall be interpreted as a socially engaged, transformative, and performative artwork?; 2) How has the implementation of The Silent University at Tensta konsthall evolved since its inception?; 3) What is the current status of The Silent University as a socially engaged project and artwork within the context of Tensta konsthall? The first question is answered by employing Umberto Eco's concept of "open" works and Claire Bishop's analysis of socially engaged art and uses secondary sources as material. The second question is approached through interviews with Fahyma Alnablsi and Emily Fahlén. Drawing from Michel de Certeau’s concepts of "tactics" and "strategies," as well as Sara Ahmed's notions of the "stranger" and community building, the second chapter explores the project's evolving dynamics and potential tensions since its establishment. In response to the third question, the discussion synthesizes The Silent University's journey at Tensta konsthall, underscoring its evolution and present condition. Findings highlight The Silent University's classification as an "open" and transformative artwork. It has transitioned from a primarily educational focus to a more socially engaged approach within the framework of Tensta konsthall. The project's sustainability is closely intertwined with Alnablsi’s involvement and engagement, thus posing both a strength and a challenge. In essence, this thesis dissects The Silent University's role within Tensta konsthall, delving into its transformative artistic, educational, and social facets, thereby contributing to a deeper understanding of the interplay between socially engaged art, institutions, and community dynamics.

32	Den klassicistiska vändningen i det tidiga 1900-talets svenska arkitektur : En studie av Liljevalchs konsthall, Kungstornen och Kanslihuset i Stockholm / The Classist Turn in Swedish Architecture of the early 20th Century : a Study of Liljevalchs, Kungstornen and Kanslihuset in Stockholm Knauff, Kristina January 2012 (has links) The starting point of the thesis consists of a number of statements by prominent representatives of the cultural elite characterising architecture with references to classicism as the modern architecture. In the following years Swedish architecture was dominated by references to classical historical architecture focussing on the ideal of simplicity, which in turn formed a wider conceptual framework of ideas and ideals for architectural creation. The simple reason why the classical historical architecture became something of a role model was that it represented all these new ideals. The main purpose of the thesis is to study how architects made use of the more prominent ideals in the new conceptual framework. A secondary purpose is to describe and analyse the three chosen buildings in detail. A third purpose is to situate these buildings into the broader national context. The buildings under study are Liljevalchs konsthall (Liljevalchs Art Gallery), Kanslihuset (The Government Offices) and Kungstornen (The Towers). They were built at different times between 1910 and 1930. Each building has an obvious connection between the building program and the social changes of the time. In the first chapter the contemporary conceptual framework is presented based on examples from the architectural debate. The most important parts were the opposition to the traditional ideals in combination with the formulating of new ones like simplicity, unity and clarity as well as an orientation towards the historical national architecture and an open attitude towards new techniques. Central to the usage of the basic of elements of the historical architecture was transformation rather than imitation. The common view meant that role models and basic creational elements of the past were regarded as opportunities for new developments. The three following chapters examine the buildings under study. The buildings and their planning processes are described and the application of the historical references and their relations to historical buildings in the environment are analysed in detail. The buildings are further discussed in relation to the broader social trends of the time. The Art Gallery is discussed in view of its connections to the contemporary industrial architecture due to the industrialisation. The analysis of the Government Offices situates the practical and symbolic aspects of the building in the contemporary struggle between the monarchy and the old civil service and the newly established parliamentary democracy. The Towers are discussed in relation to the contemporary discussion of skyscrapers in Europe and in relation to the beginning of commercialism and popular culture. / <p>QC 20120424</p> Architecture architectural history Swedish 20th century architecture 1920-talet klassicism Carl Bergsten Ivar Callmander Gustaf Clason Wolter Gahn Sven Wallander Kungstornen Liljevalchs konsthall Kanslihuset Stockholm.

This thesis explores the effect the exhibition design presented in two of Stockholm ́s art galleries has on the viewer. This study investigates Liljevalchs exhibition Vårsalongen and Fotografiskas exhibition The Extraordinary World of Christian Tagliavani. It conducts how the rooms in these two exhibitions relate to each other, and also compare the design of each exhibition room, one by one. This report is based on space syntax theory combined with observations and interviews with both the curators of these two exhibitions and people who has visited both of the exhibition rooms. This analysis show how the exhibition rooms in Liljevalchs and Fotografiska relate to each other. It also shows that the design in the exhibition room, such as the colour on the walls, lights, noises, how the art pieces are hanging as well as the spatial of the room has a big effect on the viewers experience. This thesis describes how these elements above affect the viewer in these two art galleries.

34	Creative Change : An investigation of how creative places can strengthen the schools and communities in socio-economically challenged areas / Skapa förändring : En undersökning av hur kreativa platser kan stärka skolor och lokalsamhällen i socialt utsalla områden Jensen, Katarina January 2018 (has links) To be creative or innovative is a highly praised trait within the labor market of today. Though it has often been seen as a talent only granted to a chosen few, most evidence imply that it is something that we all possess and can develop. Creativity within education also appears to have positive impacts on school-results, attendance and confidence among students. Yet creativity has a low status within the current education system, making the opportunities to develop our creative ability insufficient. Architectural projects and development strategies focused around creativity have occurred frequently on the agenda since the release of Richard Floridas book “The Rise of the Creative Class” in 2002. An increase of creative activity has been linked to growth but lately also to gentrification, as if this was an inevitable result. The focus has been on economic growth and increased tourism, instead of what creativity can bring to the individual and the community. This thesis aims to answer two main questions: First, how can creative places benefit the schools and communities in socio-economically challenged areas? Second, how can these creative places best be designed to achieve these benefits? Creative places refer in this thesis to public spaces that encourages creativity, which can be places for creative production but also places for experiencing creative works of others. The aim is also to implement the learnings into a design proposal, where the area Vivalla in Örebro is chosen as the site for implementation. In order to answer the first question, the paper examines the existing conditions of vulnerable areas in Sweden and some of the available research on creativity in relation to education. To gain knowledge about design aspects four existing projects that aims to be places for creativity are analyzed. The local conditions of Vivalla are mainly researched through qualitative methods of observation, interviews and a workshop with students from the local school. Finally, the ideas and findings are implemented into a design-proposal, which is a vision for a new creative platform. Rather than a finished project, the proposal should be seen as a vision showing the potentials of the site that can be used as a basis for discussion with the local actors, This paper provides some useful arguments to why creative places in socio-economically challenged areas are worth investing in and highlights the importance of an inclusive development process. Finally, it also provides a diverse view of one of Sweden’s most segregated areas. vulnerable areas socio-economically challenged areas creativity creative regeneration creative places creative education cultural house utsatta områden segregation Örebro Vivalla Umeå Anne Bamford kreativ utbildning kreativitet kreativa platser kulturhus Väven Kulturväven Tensta konsthall Klossen Cyklopen Architecture Arkitektur
35	Finding the Aesthetic in Visitor Experience : A study of strategies used by Moderna Museet and Bonniers Konsthall to understand the visitor experience within exhibitions Shariq, Ifra January 2023 (has links) This thesis examines the role of aesthetic experience of the audience within art exhibitions and its influence on their exhibition making and curatorial decisions of art institutions. This is done by comparing the practices within two case institutions located in Stockholm -Moderna Museet, a public art museum and Bonniers Konsthall, a private art institution. The research questions for this study are: What strategies do Moderna Museet and Bonnier Konsthall use to understand the aesthetic experience of their audience? Do the current visitor surveys used in these institutions capture the aesthetic aspect of the visitor experience? How does this knowledge about the aesthetic experience of the visitor influence the curatorial decisions within the two museums? The material consists of visitor survey questionnaires used in both the institutions as well as interviews that were conducted with staff members of the two institutions. The material is examined using the aesthetic experience theory, in order to focus specifically on the aesthetic aspect of the total visitor experience. The thesis groups the different strategies used within the two institutions in two categories of formal and informal strategies, based on the formality of their conduction. It further compares the practices of the two institutions in order to examine the difference in the perspective of public and private art museums towards their visitors. By eventually tracing how knowledge collected by the formal and informal strategies reinforces each other, the thesis draws a more complete picture of the role the aesthetic experience of the visitor plays within art institutions and their art exhibitions.

Konstruktionen ämnas vara flytande och mobil.Gemensamt undersökte författarna byggnadens förutsättningar och möjligheter, i syfte att underlätta utformningsprocessen. Författarna utformade var sitt förslag. Det resulterade i två förslag med skilda arkitektoniska särdrag, skapade utifrån gemensamt stipulerade avgränsningar.Det ena förslaget är utformat med hjälp av geometriska former med raka sidor. Det kontrasterar mot det andra förslaget som har organiska och mjuka former. / The purpose of this thesis was to produce two alternative architectural designs, of a building, that will house various exhibitions and activities. Mainly those will be culture related; music and arts. The building is to be located in a Swedish lake, called Växjösjön, and the structure is intended to be placed on a floating hull.Initially the authors investigated, and discussed, what possibilities and limitations that were associated with the building. The authors then, separate from one another, created one alternative design each.The first of the two designs found its inspiration in different geometrical shapes, whereas the other was more of an organic design with a smooth and flowing architecture. / De digitala ritningarna finns att tillgå från författarna på begäran.

37	Konstruktioner av det nationella : En utställningsanalys av Finsk bild på Liljevalchs konsthall 1977–1978 / Constructions of the national : An analysis of the art exhibition Finsk bild (Finnish picture), Liljevalchs art gallery 1977-1978 Immonen, Paulina January 2021 (has links) By examining the art exhibition Finsk bild (Finnish picture) that was held at Liljevalchs art gallery in Stockholm 1977-78, the aim of the essay is to investigate and highlight the discrepancy between the intention of the exhibition and how it was perceived by the critics. In the aftermath of the exhibition there were discussions about why the critics were so harsh, and also the way the critics described the art and artists in terms of the national has been questioned in recent years. The method that is being used is Mieke Bals semiotic exhibition analysis model, where the art exhibition is analyzed through the narratives that are constructed in the discourse of the practice of the exhibition. The results show that the framing of the exhibition was done according to a model of a national culture exchange, within far going traditions in the Nordic countries. Therefore, the art exhibited was received as “classic Finnish art”, but the art itself was of modern international character. The framing of the exhibition placed the art in the category of artefacts, which were starting to be an outdated way of perceiving art in the 1970´s. / Uppsatsen undersöker och synliggör konflikten mellan intentionen och mottagandet av konstutställningen Finsk bild som visades på Liljevalchs 1977–1978. Mottagandet av den här utställningen har uppmärksammats i efterhand, men någon djupare vetenskaplig analys har inte gjorts. Metoden som använts till undersökningen är en utställningsanalys enligt Mieke Bals semiotiska modell, där utställningspraktiken undersöks genom diskurser som var förhärskande på det finska och svenska konstfältet. Resultatet visar att en representationsutställning som Finsk bild, var diskursivt inramad i nationella termer av finskhet, vilket därmed ställde förväntningar på konsten som visades. Konsten som visades var dock inte ”nationell finsk konst” i klassisk mening, utan konst som till sitt uttryck följde en allmän konstutveckling i spåren av västerländsk modernitet. Traditionell politisk praktik av konstutbyte hade satt ramarna för utställningen, men konstbegreppet och konsttolkningen hade delvis ersatts av nya. Konst som bärare av det nationella, förutsätter att konstverk ses som artefakter snarare än konstverk. cultural cold war cultural diplomacy Finland Sweden Scandinavia Mieke Bal 1970's art exhibition analysis Liljevalchs discourse analysis Finnish artists taidenäyttely suomalainen taide 1970-luku Suomen taiteilijaseura taidekritiikki Mieke Bal Liljevalchsin taidehalli edustusnäyttely Maaretta Jaukkuri kulttuurivaihto taidepolitiikka utställningsanalys Mieke Bal Skandinavien Finland Sverige konstkritik nationell konsttolkning 1970-tal Liljevalchs konsthall representationsutställning kulturell diplomati konstpolitik kulturekonomi diskursanalys konstbegrepp konsttolkning konstutbyte Humanities and the Arts Humaniora och konst
