The Museum Exposition – from a Site of Objects to an Act of Presentation: Contemporary Practices

Summary/Abstract: The study examines the change of curatorial models in the manner of organising museum expositions. It discusses the familiar architectural structures: Wunderkammer, Kunsthalle, Oberlichtsaal, white cube, archive (Christoph Lichtin, 2007), as well as the inclusion of new models, using the metaphor of the snowball and the cloud (Martin Heller, 2007). With the new display practices, the emphasis shits from the pure field of the object to the act of presentation: it is not only that works of art are shown but projects are also being carried out in accordance with a given specific place. What is presented are examples, in which the space and the display are both the theme of and the reason for the exhibition, such as the “Space-public” project in Sofia Arsenal Museum of Contemporary Art. The participating artists interpret space in terms of structure and content, a dialogue, a network and contradictions.
