We first present findings from a recent study of types and functions of wall texts used in permanent collection exhibitions in twelve Norwegian art museums, including a national museum of art. We then examine the types and functions of wall texts being planned and designed for the collection exhibitions in a new building for this national art museum, which will open in 2020. In our analytical focus on the wall text, we unpack how perspectives on enlightenment and experience become institutionally embedded in the interface of interpretive media. The study showed small but significant changes in a national art museum’s organization, a new blended approach to digital interpretive media, and expanded types of wall texts, illustrating the premise that discursive and practical tensions between enlightenment and experience are...

For å bli tatt opp som medlem av foreningen må ens arbeider ha blitt godkjent av en jury. UKS er derfor et galleri som styres av en demokratisk medlemsorganisasjon og går under betegnelsen kunstnerstyrt formidling. Denne hovedoppgaven tar for seg UKS' drift av galleriet i Oslo fra dens spede begynnelse i 1937 og fram til 1965 da virksomheten, inkludert formidlingstiltak som Byens bilde og UKS' Vårutstilling, bidro til at UKS deltok i førstedivisjon blant landets kunstgallerier. Hovedoppgaven beskriver betingelsene rundt etableringen av galleriet og gir en gjennomgang av virksomheten fram til 1965. Varebyttesentralen, eller galleriet, ble etablert med støtte fra Oslo kommune, og denne offentlige støtten var i alle år en viktig betingelse for driften. Galleriet startet som en varebyttesentral, men kun...

We present a sociocultural perspective on the intertwined cognitive and social aspects of gesture and posing in meaning making, and we discuss how these relate to visitors' interpretive processes in encounters with art. We present two cases in which interpretive technologies have been designed with posing activities. The cases are taken from a nationally funded design-based research project that entailed close collaboration over several years between a university and a national museum of art, architecture, and design. The use of photography by Edvard Munch in his self-portraits was the theme for the interpretive activities, which had young people between the ages of fifteen and eighteen as the main focus group. Interviews, field observations, and video recordings of over fifty posing sessions comprise the main data corpus. Applying methods from interaction analysis, we found tha...
