复调理论视阈下的美术馆展览实践——以成都麓湖·A4美术馆iSTART儿童艺术节为例

Museum Exhibition Practices from the Perspective of Polyphonic Theory:Case Study About the iSTART Children’s Art Festival of A4 Art Museum in Chengdu

本文以成都麓湖·A4美术馆(以下简称“A4美术馆”)iSTART儿童艺术节展览为例,探讨复调性之于美术馆展览实践的积极意义。iSTART儿童艺术节旨在以儿童为中心,构建机构、学校、家庭、社区等多元主体的复调关系,以对话、参与式策展实现策展权力的去中心化,延展策展实践逻辑,完成多重文化实践。研究者通过参与式观察,厘清展览实践中的对话主体,探究儿童如何从边缘到复调关系的中心,以及展览中的赋权机制的运作和权力再分配等议题。同时,认为复调性思维和工作方法对打造参与式展览、提升展览教育性、促进社区参与均具有积极意义。

This paper takes the iSTART Children’s Art Festival as example to discuss the positive significance of polyphony in museum exhibition practice.The iSTART places the children into the center,aims to construct the polyphonic relationships among the multiple subjects of institution,school,family,community,decentralizes the curatorial power by dialogue and participatory curation,and extends the curatorial practice logic and multi-cultural practices.Researchers try to clear the dialogue subjects in the curatorial practices,explore the way about children moving from the margin to the center,and the issues about operation of empowerment mechanism and power redistribution.Meanwhile,this paper suggests that polyphonic thoughts and approaches are meaningful to design participatory exhibitions,enhance exhibition education,and create community participant.
