The article studies the ways of rendering stylistic and lexical features of museum texts in the Russian, English and Finnish languages in translations. Research in the field of translation of museum texts seems important in view of the growing popularity of museums and the increased number of international visitors who have to refer to translated texts. The study uses the texts of Kiasma and the Helsinki Art Museum (HAM), Helsinki, as well as the texts of the Museum and Exhibition Complex of Small Arms named after M. T. Kalashnikov, Izhevsk. The source languages ​​(SL) of the analyzed texts were Russian and Finnish, the target languages ​​(TL) were Russian and English. The objective of this research was to study the peculiarities of translating museum texts. In the course of the study, a linguistic analysis of texts in the SL was carried out. It was found that museum texts feature a combination of different functional styles. In addition to publicist and scientific styles, museum texts can have some features of fiction, formal business and colloquial functional styles. The study showed a link between the type of the museum text or the nature of the museum and the functional style of the text. In the course of a comparative and translation analysis of texts in the SL and the TL, the main stylistic and lexical problems of translating museum texts were identified, and optimal translation solutions for conveying the stylistic and lexical features of museum texts were described. It was found that lexical translation problems were most often associated with idioms and the vocabulary lacking equivalents in the TL, as well as the dependence of texts on the visual component of works of art. Stylistic problems, in turn, were due to the need to preserve the functional and stylistic characteristics of the original.

Rapid Response Collecting has been a most apt methodology with which to document the COVID-19 pandemic for an increasing number of museums. As the phenomenon unfolded across the globe, museums searched for and head-hunted the truth-revealing objects that could tell the stories and histories of the present to current and future generations. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic took Rapid Response Collecting to a higher level. A methodology originally conceived for a sporadic phenomenon happening within a specific context during the early years of the 21st century gained much more traction almost overnight. This paper shall make a case for a better understanding of the potential use and application of Rapid Response Collecting by art museums. It shall look into the defining values of this collections development methodology and how these can be applied and adopted when acquiring works of art. In doing so, it shall seek to understand to what extent the mainstream version of Rapid Response Collecting can be adapted for the needs, purposes and requirements of the art museum.

Abstract In February 1971, the artist collective Aesthetic Dynamics, Inc. presented its first major undertaking: an exhibition of over 130 works of art by 66 artists. Organized as a memorial to the late James A. Porter, Afro-American Images 1971 was presented at the National Guard Armory in Wilmington, Delaware. Many of the artists who participated in the show were well-established nationally; however, the location and inclusion of many artists known only to the local community resulted in the marginalization of this significant exhibition. In 2021, the Delaware Art Museum will restage the exhibition as a collaborative curatorial partnership with past and currents members of Aesthetic Dynamics, Inc. in an effort to counter this historical amnesia. Restaging as a curatorial methodology is a constructive means through which to aid in the recovery of the 1971 project, its archival record and its significance locally and nationally.

About shore-walks and other idle amusements The author, who is a sculptor and the leader of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bergen, Norway, looks at the art museum with mixed feelings. The works of art which have attained the status of museum objects have been salvaged from the relentless flow of time. But, alas, many of them are doomed to the store-room or cellar.

Based on artist Thomas Hirschhorn’s installation entitled Bataille Monument, the article discusses how controversial works of art situated outside the art museum can address local communities as fragmented and conflicted communities. It is argued that public spaces should be perceived as zones where potentially different and contradictory social, ethnic, economic and cultural participatory positions can interact, calling for an active negotiation process. Based on theoretical reflections on so-called radical democracy, it is argued that democratic societies and their museum institutions could benefit from focusing on contemporary conflictual and debatable issues.

В статье рассматриваются автопортреты иркутских художников, созданные в период 1980–2000 гг. и хранящиеся в собрании Иркутского областного художественного музея имени В.П. Сукачева. Два последних десятилетия ХХ века стали временем глобальных общественных и политических перемен, последствия которых отразились на жизни граждан. Попытка сопоставления глубоко личных произведений искусства и исторических событий, происходящих параллельно их созданию, дает возможность оценить, как внешняя среда влияет на творческий процесс художника. Приведен искусствоведческий анализ автопортретов Г. Новиковой, В. Кузьмина, Н. Вершинина, Н. Башарина В. Смагина, Б. Десяткина, Л. Гимова, В. Чевелева.

The last two decades of the twentieth century were a time of global social and political changes, the consequences of which affected the lives of citizens. An attempt to compare deeply personal works of art and historical events that occur in parallel with their creation makes it possible to assess how the external environment affects the artist's creative process.

In this article, the digital museum is examined through the perspective of the “humanization” processes, which is the reorientation of museums to reach the widest audience and to introduce works of art in media discourse. First of all, these problems cover the transformation of the usual communication between museums and their visitors. Thus, new accents are formed and landmarks are shifted from a work of art to its recipient. The purpose of this study is analyzing the visual component of museums’ websites, cultural research of digital content. As a result of the release of museums and their material and cultural archive in the field of mass culture, access to works of art, and its informational, expert support are realized, but also a kind of desacralization of cultural objects is fixed. The article concludes that the range of visual shows presented in digital museums is wide and relies largely on game aesthetics, on the possibility of interactive manipulation of website content.
