Revealing Meanings through Multi-Sensory Experience - A Paradigm Shift in Exhibition Display Culture (Paperback)

Essay from the year 2012 in the subject Art - Miscellaneous, grade: Merit, Kingston University London (Kingston University London, in Partnership with the Design Museum, London, U.K.), course: MA Curating Contemporary Design, language: English, comment: "An arresting and fascinating essay. ...] I]t is up to the job of conducting a highly intelligent discourse in a way that carries the reader irresistibly along.The subject matter ...] is bang-up-to-the-minute, supported by recent literature. ...] And since Margaret is analysing new ways of doing exhibitions, one feels that she is entitled to devise an appropriately new way of articulating her essay. ...] As "research" the essay shows that Margaret is aware of and perceptive about the contemporary, and as criticism it shows that she has sharp ideas and can express them cogently." -Anthony B., abstract: Abstract - Displaying art objects in exhibition is not only an artistic expression in the heart of curating, but it is also an essential interface for curators to present stories and convey meanings. How to engage people beyond purely-visual-appeals is always a top-of-mind-question embedded in curators' mind, and the discourse has become a major concern among pioneers in recent times. Over the decade, frontier exhibitioners were attempting to breakthrough from a purely vision-dominated museum culture. Some exhibition experiments were successful, and the movement has fundamentally changed the way curators think about exhibition-making, including the ultimate purpose of displaying objects. The paradigm shift actually rings the bells and requires contemporary curators to pay attention to. It is crucial to realize that the recent success was not only about the artistic sense of the artists, but it is also the revolutionary belief of the frontier curators that has made it happen. This essay aims to uncover the distinctive differences in the core beliefs of multi sensory approaches, in order to find out dynamic answers
