Abstract

Museums not only facilitate encounters among visitors, objects and stories, but they also facilitate the staging of these visits. They organize tours of the exhibition spaces as well as provide additional publicly accessible spaces, including entrances, corridors, auditoriums and museum cafés. In nineteenth-century monumental art museums, the transition from city to museum interior was dramatized. Climbing the stairs of Schinkel's Altes Museum in Berlin or traversing the pergola between the ponds in Berlage's Kunstmuseum in The Hague urges visitors to leave the everyday world behind. The post-war, ‘barrier-free' museum, with squares and streets inside and out, seems to want to abolish this city-museum boundary. At the same time, other internal boundaries are being revised, namely those between front stage and backstage. Depots are being made accessible and visitors can now take a look inside restoration studios. This edition of OASE examines how historical and contemporary buildings stage museum visits and museum activities, how permanent furnishings and temporary scenography interact, and how museums display their activities either transparently or imaginatively.

Abstract

Christian Reading shifts the assumption that study of the Bible must be about the content of the Bible or aimed at confessional projects of religious instruction. Blossom Stefaniw focuses on the lesson transcripts from the Tura papyri, which reveal verbatim oral classroom discourse, to show how biblical texts were used as an exhibition space for the traditional canon of general knowledge about the world. Stefaniw demonstrates that the work of Didymus the Blind in the lessons reflected in the Tura papyri was similar to that of other grammarians in late antiquity: articulating the students' place in time, their position in the world, and their connection to their heritage. But whereas other grammarians used revered texts like Homer and Menander, Didymus curated the cultural patrimony using biblical texts: namely, the Psalms and Ecclesiastes. By examining this routine epistemological and pedagogical work carried out through the Bible, Christian Reading generates a new model of the relationship of Christian scholarship to the pagan past.

Abstract

Wie lassen sich Wörter, Sätze, Gespräche und andere sprachbasierte Kommunikationsformen ausstellen? Und wie verändern Gesprächsmodi - als Konzept, Performance, Sound oder Code, Notiz oder Aufzeichnung - das Format und den Raum der Ausstellung? Die Beiträge des Bandes widmen sich diesen Fragen und stellen dabei gegenwärtige künstlerische Positionen aus verschiedenen kulturellen Zusammenhängen ins Zentrum. Ausgangspunkt der Diskussionen sind zwei kuratorische Projekte in Frankfurt am Main: Die Ausstellung 215 mit Leo Asemota und Nástio Mosquito im Portikus und Subject:Fwd:Unknown mit Michal Heiman, Nora Turato, Tim Etchells und Yutie Lee im Projektraum fffriedrich. Mit Beiträgen u.a. von Fiona Geuß, Heike Gfrereis, Christina Lehnert, Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung und Philippe Pirotte.

Abstract

Before the first purpose-designed exhibition spaces and painting exhibitions emerged, showing art was mainly related to the habit of dressing up spaces for political commemorations, religious festivals, and marketing strategies. Palaces, cloisters, façades, squares, and shops became temporary and privileged venues for art display, where sociability was performed, and the idea of exhibition developed. What were those places and events? What aesthetic, cultural, social and political discourses intersected with the early idea of exhibition space? How did displaying art shape a new vocabulary within these events, and conversely, how have these occasions conditioned exhibiting practices? This book traces the origins of the exhibition space by studying its visual and written imagery in the early modern period. It reconsiders events and habits that contributed to shaping the imagery of the exhibition space, and to defining exhibition-making practices, exploring micro-histories and long-term changes.
