讓觀者發聲—觀看理論運用於美術館展場設計與規畫之研究

Abstract

The popularity of the life-long learning driven by our needs means the museum era has come. Today, new museums started to focus on application, exhibition, and promoting the education from the people-based start point, and thus are different from the emphasis of collection, research, maintenance in the past. Among all, art galleries belong to one branch of museums, and are the most frequent places for art education activities. Art galleries not only provide us with the visual experiences for appreciating some original art works, they also become the best venues for appreciating education. However, how art galleries can apply the design of the exhibition, to express and accomplish such tasks will be involved with different thoughts caused by their discrepant structures such as the use of space, the compartment of thoughts, concepts, and whether they are interactive with the audience or not. The audience who gets involved needs to accomplish the goal of communicating with the art works, and realizing the implementation of the self-observation by the participation and the observation processes.

The structure of the article will base on this viewpoint, and be extended to some relevant issues of the exhibition of art galleries. First, we emphasize how we can utilize our exhibitions to provide an effective presentation, and thus, to strengthen the interaction. Among all, they are involved with degrees of participation of some relevant exhibitions, the processes of interpretations, and reconstructions. Finally, with the audience-based main body we will have a profound exploration as to how we can use a brand-new angle to bring in remarks by Jacques Lacan and Michael Foucault to examine the process of the design of the exhibitions. Finally, two studies about the application of the observation theories were mentioned, added by some examples from Taiwan to show the analysis of the degrees of participation from the audience, and this latter part can also serve as the basis of some future art gallery exhibitions. The final hope of this article was to share with many others on the thought models of exhibitions when they want to engage themselves in art gallery education.
