Museum Talk with Vince Dziekan and Ross Parry
Negotiating museums and their digital interfaces
Vince Dziekan (Monash University) and Ross Parry (University of Leicester)
With introduction by Karin de Wild
Museums exude an air of confidence. This edifice is more than an image projected via their imposing architecture expression and its enduring physical statement; it’s also represented in the complex system of beliefs that the institution carries with it from a time-honoured past into a far-less certain future.
In this Museum Talk we will speak to the evolving nature of digital confidence in museums; why it has faltered (at times), why it matters (especially in these times), and how it may flourish (now, and as an integral part of the mus...

Modern/Gothic: Historical Styles and the Domestic Interiors of the Nineteenth-Century Lieske Huits (Leiden University) Until recently, the nineteenth century has been criticized as an age which - in its aesthetics, at least - neglected the modern, choosing instead to slavishly reproduce the styles of the past. In the nineteenth century itself, however, the call to consider modern wants and need...

Museum Talk of Martijn Storms: "Maps, Navigating and Manipulating"
Просмотров 51Год назад
Are maps objective or do they convey hidden messages that you would miss at first glance? A map is always a simplification of reality. Mapmakers reduce, distort and select. This allows the reader to be guided literally and figuratively. Leiden University Libraries (UBL) and the Museum Volkenkunde jointly created the exhibition ‘Maps: navigating and manipulating’. The exhibition shows maps from ...

Просмотров 91Год назад
Mari Hvattum, The Oslo School of Architecture and Design Although he is the nineteenth century’s most famous theorist of style, exactly what Gottfried Semper meant by the term is not at all obvious. He certainly meant something else than most of his contemporaries. Profoundly uninterested in period style or the art historical taxonomy emerging from Winckelmann’s Stilgeschichte, Semper insisted ...
