Rockbund Art Museum 上海外滩美术馆

Art works vary in form from exhibition to exhibition as they collectively spatialize into a space a three dimensional story through subtle methods of storytelling and strategy created by the curator. The majority of the audience mostly never have the chance to see the final presentation of artworks and often attempt to understand art only through the exhibition booklet and guided tour. Subsequently, this increases the difficulty to provide access for them to explore the wider process of exhibition-making.

Due to this context, Total Museum is the first private contemporary art institution in South Korea, and seeks to shift the focus of projects from artwork to the artists. The museum has begun to initiate more programs where the audience can become actively involved with the exhibition-making process and communication with the artists. This includes projects such as Monday Salon that invites artists, curators, dancers, and composers to give a talk; the travelling project Roadshow; and Dream Blossom Academy, which gives the intellectually disabled and autistic community an opportunity to have a class with the artists. In the lecture, Nathalie Boseul Shin, the chief curator of Total Museum will come to share the stories behind the art projects and exhibitions, and discuss the future possibility of contemporary art institutions and its relationship to different audiences.

艺术作品与展览不同，因为展览像是一本由艺术作品组成的立体故事书，隐藏着“故事线索”和策展人的种种巧思。大多数观众只能看到艺术作品最终的展陈形态，通过展册和导览等方式来理解艺术，却很难探知展览的策划与制作的全过程。

因此，总体美术馆作为韩国首家私人美术馆将艺术项目的重点，从艺术作品转移至艺术家，策划了更多可以邀请观众参与到展览制作过程并与艺术家有所交流的活动项目，诸如：邀请艺术家、策展人、舞蹈家、作曲家等创作者分享创作想法及心得的“周一沙龙（Monday Salon）”讲座项目，团队足迹遍布韩国、印度、马来西亚等多个国家的“路演（Roadshow）”旅行项目，以及与韩国Jung-gu残疾人康复中心合作为智力障碍和自闭症患者开设艺术相关课程的“梦之花学院（Dream Blossom Academy）”等。

本次讲座，申宝瑟将和观众分享展览和艺术文化项目背后的故事，讨论未来当代艺术机构的更多可能性。
