Interactive Installations

There is a growing commitment within cultural institutions such as museums and galleries to develop exhibitions that attract the public to engage with art. Digital technological innovations play an important role in this regard, enabling visitors to experience artworks in new ways. Contemporary museums and galleries have become increasingly concerned with promoting public engagement through the consumption of interactive installations, as opposed to the traditional approach of housing static curiosities and authentic pieces. In this article, I will explore the visitors’ responses to the technologically mediated artworks and the new forms of interaction(s) that arise in exhibition areas. The changed forms of interaction are twofold: participation with artworks creates interaction with the exhibit as well as with fellow visitors and members of staff. These new forms of interactions are linked to the individuals’ performance and thereafter to their subjective experience of the art exhibition. This article approaches the museum visit from a sociological perspective in order to find out what exactly happens in interactive digital exhibitions. The analysis addresses the ways in which these different forms of interactions affect the experience of visiting a museum, as well as perceptions of the arts and culture.

Opening Up

In the current economic climate where state subsidies for the arts have been steadily eroded, there is a consensus in support of the good of corporate sponsorship for cultural institutions. This article seeks to problematize this consensus by critiquing the strategies that corporations employ in their sponsorship agreements with public cultural institutions and opening up a discussion around the ethical issues this poses for their recipients. It then examines how a coalition of subversive arts collectives, that come together under the banner ‘Art Not Oil’, have begun to successfully shatter this consensus through a sustained campaign of unauthorized live art interventions enacted inside cultural institutions. It argues that the unique strategy of resistance they employ operates at an interstitial distance to the public cultural institutions they target, from where they open up spaces of resistance ultimately capable of rewriting the cultural sectors’ corporatized value system.Key Words: Corporate sponsorship, Public cultural sector, Liberate Tate, Simon Critchley, Interstitial distance

History Of

The article analyzes the memoirs of the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, written by one of the most prominent Ukrainian bibliologists, librarians and bibliographers – Lev Ustymovych Bykowski (1895–1992), who also joined the librarianship of Czechoslovakia and Poland and served as director of the Warsaw Public Library in the most dramatic moments in the history of the Polish capital – the anti-Nazi uprising. Among the figures mentioned in the memoir are: Janina Peszynska (1887-1949) – head of the Arts department of the Public Library and an active participant in the Warsaw Uprising; Regina Tchaikovsky – daughter of famous writer Alexander Sventokhovsky; Professor Jerzy Kowalski (1893-1948) – classical philologist, writer, professor of Lviv and Wroclaw universities; writer Maria Dombrovska (1889-1960); Mayor of Warsaw Julian Kulski; Prince Victor Viktorovich Kochubey (1893-1953); former minister of UPR Stanislav Stempovsky – former minister of UPR and others. In the context of local lore, the events around the Warsaw Public Library and the situation on Marshalkowska, Koszykova, Poznanska, Emilia Plater, Goza, etc. are most noted. There is also a lot of evidence in the memoir of Warsaw’s cultural institutions and their condition after the uprising.

The Arts

Many elements are presented to visitors during an exhibition of contemporary art. These elements include the overaching concept of the exhibit (Ko), issues raised in the exhibition (Is), the name of the artist whose popularity attracts patrons (Na), and visual forms of the art itself (Vi). Using these four elements I compiled questions and interviewed patrons with various backgrounds in the arts. The goal was to find out these patron’s interest priorities; in other words, which aspects of the exhibit were of most interest to them as an observer. Previous literature on visitor behavior and social response at contemporary art exhibitions has been used as a base for this research. This study aims to highlight the different interest priorities as a visitor behaviour and audiens reception due to exhibition. I My respondences in this research is the exhibition visitors who had a background in art, but not necessarily in the discipline being exhibited. The results of this study will serve to determine the interest of art exhibition patrons, so that artists and curators can be made more aware of the gaps that exist between exhibit creation and viewer interest, and how those gaps can be better closed.

The Third Reich

Nazi Germany used official cultural cooperation for ideological propaganda purposes. Germany did not enter into any distinct cultural agreements with the Nordic countries, but cooperated in separate projects such as art exhibitions. This article focuses on an exhibition of Finnish art organized in Germany in 1935 and on an exhibition of German art correspondingly organized in Finland in 1936. The article discusses the compilation of an exhibition as a statement of opinion. Compiling an exhibition is always a matter of making choices: decisions have to be made on the theme of the exhibition, any larger entity it is to be linked with, what should be included and what should be left out. An exhibition always represents something; it can thus never be non-aligned or ‘innocent’. An art exhibition that forms part of cultural cooperation organized by a totalitarian system is an example of an enforced display of ideology.

Crisis Situations

Abstract In general, the arts and, in particular, the performing arts are proving to be both affected and sensitive, reactive to societal convulsions, regardless of their nature. Performance institutions are dependent not only on the audience they have created, but, above all, on the funding through which they can shape and convey their artistic message. Overall, crisis situations are associated with a negative context, expressing a stage marked by great difficulties (financial, economic, political) that impact all areas with a domino effect. In such situations, cultural institutions, particularly those in the performances arts0 and especially lyric theaters become one of the predilect victims to suffer from the rationalization of resources, being considered inessential, the perfect sacrificial pawn. But, at the pinnacle of a crisis, cultural performances, drawing from the creator-artist relation, commit to become a coagulating, driving, regenerating social factor, like a Phoenix rising from its ashes. A great such example is Ciprian Porumbescu’s operetta, „Crai Nou”, which held great significance for the Romanian identity when it was first released to the public.

Children’S Thinking

Indonesian culture is very diverse, from Sabang to Merauke. Many people don't know about Indonesian culture. This is because they are rarely introduced to knowledge of arts and culture. In its implementation, efforts to preserve culture experience challenges from the incoming foreign culture. Technological advances have an impact on society, one of which is the proliferation of various kinds of games. The image of games in society is still seen as an entertaining medium rather than a learning medium. The nature of games are challenging, addictive and fun for those who like games. Technological developments also affect people's habits. One of them is smartphones. So a combination is needed by following the development of science and technology today. Busana Apps (Budaya Khas Nusantara Applications) is an application that displays a variety of cultures in Indonesia, from dance, music and fine arts. This application is expected to help the interest of the community, especially children, to get to know the arts and culture in Indonesia, which is a legacy from their ancestors so that they can be maintained, cared for and preserved properly. The results offered in this application are in the form of a puzzle game, which is an interactive game that can stimulate children's thinking patterns. Even with the Covid-19 pandemic like this, that cannot make people visit art venues directly. However, with this application, the public can get to know more about the arts in Indonesia.

Definition Of

Art exhibitions play an important role in developing and supporting art activities in Malaysia and are often used as platforms to showcase works of the visual arts to the public. The National Cultural Policy (NCP) (1971) had a profound impact on the development of the visual arts in Malaysia. This policy is the country’s official attempt to establish a Malaysian identity, especially in the arts. Indirectly, it also challenged the boundaries of the definition of art in terms of philosophy, sociology, and aesthetics, in the context of exhibition practices. This paper discusses two local art exhibitions— Towards a Mystical Reality (TMR) (1974) and Rupa dan Jiwa (1979). This paper discusses both exhibitions in the contexts of the NCP, particularly by focusing on the aspect of (Malay) nativism, and through the introduction of new ideas and concepts with an intellectual component.
