Stop wandering, start acting Find out how museum guards can be
to your advantage. Learn the rule of thumb to distinguish good art
from bad art. "How to Visit an Art Museum" is a short, fun, and
rewarding read, full of tips and inspiring illustrations to get the
most out of your museum visit.
Is there anything more entertaining, inspiring and instructive than
observing art? Yes, it is watching the people interacting with this
art. This book may forever change your approach to art as it urges
you to always consider both the work and the response. Because
ultimately artists create, but we - the audience - complete the
picture.A Spectator is an Artist Too is a visual essay about human
behaviour around art: what happens when we are confronted with
something immensely beautiful, challenging, or puzzling? Art
historians only study objects, but how these objects are received
is also worthy of our attention.The book also captures how art
museums are changing, as they draw increasingly diverse audiences.
The way the museum visitors responds to art is becoming more casual
and creative - but also more swift or even banal. This shift is
increased by a whole new breed of Instagram-friendly 'museums'
worldwide, attracting experience-hungry visitors with immersive
exhibitions defined by their Instagrammability.
Vacations are made of freedom. Pure freedom. Our busy lives, full
of obligations, mean that vacations may be the only times we can do
whatever we want, wherever we want. So just how weird is it that we
all spend that precious time doing the same things? That we descend
en masse on the same cities, cluster around the same attractions
and all visit the same picturesque neighbourhoods that can't
actually handle the influx? How to Be a Better Tourist offers a
fresh perspective on making your vacation truly worthwhile. After
all, what if all your vacations seem to be getting more and more
the same? What if being a tourist is suddenly no longer quite as
innocent as it first seemed? Or what if your long list of must-sees
in fact stresses you out? As the writer Elbert Hubbard poignantly
put it, "No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just
had one." Find out why you should perhaps stay at home. Understand
why you also need to work while on vacation. Read why tourists
should visit supermarkets and residential districts too. Our
typical vacation behaviour - visiting the maximum number of
highlights in the minimum amount of time - is rarely the most
rewarding. How to Be a Better Tourist helps you get the most out of
your stay without damaging the soul of your destination. Because,
ultimately, an imaginatively considered vacation is a genuinely
rewarding experience.
