Tate Modern in the Digital Age : A case study addressing the use of digital technology, audience interaction and participation at Tate Modern

Hammargren, Erika January 2017 (has links)
The previous Head of Digital at Tate, John Stack, argues that digital transformation and the audience’s increasing expectation of participation are the two major changes during the last ten years (Mitchell 2014). This thesis addresses Tate Modern’s use of digital technologies with focus on how audience interaction and participation is facilitated through the affordances of digital technology. Additionally, this thesis examines how Tate’s digital policies corresponds with Tate Modern’s actual practices, online and onsite, regarding audience participation and interaction.  Discrepancies regarding Tate Modern’s practical approach to audience interaction and participation in relation to its policies were identified. The audience was not genuinely invited to participate through digital technologies during the examined period.  Tate Modern, although being a leader in its field, still has some way to go in its digital development and its approach towards the audience before becoming a truly participatory museum.

Preventing Predictions: The Political Possibilities of Play and Aesthetics in Contemporary Installation Art and Works by Carsten Hller and Gabriel Orozco

Mallett, Samantha Josephine Judina 11 1900 (has links)
This thesis analyzes contemporary participatory installation art, play theory, especially Johan Huizingas seminal Homo Ludens, and the aesthetic theories of Nicolas Bourriauds Relational Aesthetics and Jacques Rancires Politics of Aesthetics. Ping Pond Table 1998 by Gabriel Orozco and Test Site 2006 by Cartsen Hller are studied to illustrate how play and the aesthetic can become political by repositioning the contemporary viewer as an active and playing participant in the artwork, prompting an awareness of the matrix of power between audience, artwork and institution, and by creating the possibility for dynamic social roles. This thesis, like the artworks it examines, invokes a conception of play as a vital construct of culture rather than simply the domain of childhood imagination. Overturning the dominant concept of play and reinstating play in adult life becomes a political act because it engages adults in liberated, creative thinking that challenges traditional, consumer-driven, practical and thus constructive behaviours.

Durante o processo investigativo constatou-se a necessidade de, preliminarmente, conceituar esta tipologia arquitetônica para, na sequência, apresentar suas transformações ao longo dos anos, fruto da constante busca por adequar o continente ao conteúdo e a sociedade. Enfatizando que as produções artísticas foram as causadoras das diversas necessidades de alterações espaciais também foi dedicada uma parte da monografia para apresentação do experimentalismo existente no período de reflexão. Cabe ressaltar que as variações nos suportes artísticos criaram novos desafios para os arquitetos no desenvolvimento dos projetos de museus, além da contaminação do seu imaginário com uma gama de infinitas possibilidades criativas. Para a criação destes espaços, por vezes, devem-se ponderar demandas antagônicas tais como: grandes ou pequenas áreas, claridade ou escuridão, silêncio ou ruído, cores ou neutralidade. Com o propósito de melhor entender estas edificações foram analisadas três instituições que apresentam condições específicas para a exibição de arte contemporânea, destacando-se duas distintas exposições em cada para melhor avaliarmos a conformação dos espaços às atuais demandas / Abstract: This dissertation aims to identify the ideal contemporary exhibition space, specifically museums, for showing contemporary art produced since the 1950s. In the research process, we primarily conceptualize this architectural typology and then presented its historical development related to its adequacy to social and artistic alterations. Considering that exhibition spaces must be adequate to show the wide range of artistic creations we also dedicated a chapter to understand and analyze all that happened in arts universe during the period. It¿s necessary to highlight that artistic developments in addition to being a big challenge to architects design are also a huge inspiration, mainly due to presenting infinity new possibilities. To design these spaces sometimes one must deal with antagonist forces like: amplitude or cosines, clarity or darkness, silence or noise, colorful or neutral. In this dissertation three reckon contemporary art institutions were analyzed highlighting two different shows in each one. The objective was to study the space adequacy to the art it contained / Mestrado / Artes Visuais / Mestra em Artes Visuais

Agencification and quangocratisation of cultural organisations in the U.K. and South Korea : theory and policy

Jung, Chang Sung January 2014 (has links)
This research focuses on agencification and quangocratisation (AQ) through a comparison of the experiences of South Korea and the UK. Although a number of studies of AQ have been produced recently, these reforms remain inadequately understood. Since AQ involves the structural disaggregation of administrative units from existing departments, executive agencies and quangos have distinct characteristics which are quite different from ordinary core departments. There are a number of factors which influence these changes; and this thesis explores nine existing theories which are available to explain these phenomena. Case studies are presented of Tate Modern in the UK and the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA), which are carefully analysed to examine the validity of those nine arguments. Although cultural agencies, which show some unique features, have become increasingly an essential part of the national economy, they have scarcely been researched from the viewpoint of public policy. This thesis endeavours to explore distinctive characteristics of this policy area; and moreover, it examines the diverse variables which have an impact on policy formation and its results through the process of comparison of arguments. The major tasks of this thesis are to investigate the applicability of the nine arguments and to weigh their merits. As a corollary of this comprehensiveness, it examines the whole public sectors of both countries, in order to show the broader picture and to understand the processes of changes and their backgrounds. More profoundly, similarities and differences between both countries are compared from both macro and micro perspectives. At the same time, the results of AQ are analysed through the comparison of outputs or outcomes before and after these changes, with a view to exploring whether their rationales are appropriate. Furthermore, it also examines the institutional constraints which influence not only the change of agencies but also their performances. Besides which, it seeks to find strategies for overcoming these constraints. This thesis adopts systematic and comprehensive approaches regarding basic concepts and data. It draws on theories of comparative research, the scope of the public sector, the classification and analysis of agencies and quangos, and theories underlying the detailed components of each argument and epistemological assumptions. Therefore, it suggests various aspects which enable us to broaden our understanding of the changes within the public sector; and to generate practical understanding to inform real world reform.

Research: ROTHKO : - ett arbete om att lära känna sig själv genom någon annan / Research: ROTHKO : - about getting to know yourself through someone else

af Malmborg, Solith January 2017 (has links)
This thesis project examines both inner and outer circumstances of knowledge in an attempt to emphasize the importance of personal reflection. I search for answers on how to communicate feelings through colour and form by studying Mark Rothko and the abstract expressionism. A personal reflection is made parallelly to expand my own understanding of the subject and my own role in relation to it. I also explore painting as amethod of deepening my understanding of Rothko. Mark Rothko is both subject of study and tutor as I give myself the task of translating his art into my own design. The result offers thoughts and ideas on the significance of the work of hand, the use of colour and the meaning of intention, which I claim are important aspects when aiming for emotional results. However I also reflect upon the fact that the communication remains individual and that it is therefore problematic to confirm success in this matter. / Detta är ett undersökande arbete som vänder sig både inåt och utåt. Det är en djupdykning i Mark Rothkos konstnärskap som sker parallellt med en personlig reflektion. Inledningsvis handlar det om att arbeta i gränslandet mellan konst och design och hurdet kan se ut. I förlängningen handlar det om hur den konstnärliga historien kan fungera som inspiratör och vägledare för innebörd och uttryck i formgivningen. Genom att studera den abstrakta expressionismen och Mark Rothko söker jag svar på hur känslomässig kommunikation kan ske genom färg och form. Förutom litterär research utför jag också en praktiskt undersökning där jag använder måleriet som en metod för att förstå mitt studieobjekt; Mark Rothko. Målet är att översätta Mark Rothkos konst till min design. Det handlar om att studera, internalisera och applicera. Resultatet bjuder in till en diskussion om handlagets, färgens och intentionens betydelse för formgivningen, där jag hävdar att dessa aspekter är viktiga för ett emotionellt berörande resultat, men att kommunikationen förblir individuell.
