Fine Arts without Cultural Boundaries: Research, Display, Perception
Fine Arts are displayed not only in their place of creation, but in museums around the world; visitors see Fine Art from all over the world. This poses challenges for curators and audiences.
How do we present Fine Arts and for whom? Can Fine Arts from different regions create a fruitful dialogue when placed under one roof? What knowledge is necessary or useful and who creates and presents this knowledge? And for whom? Where does the act of research subvert its own cultural origins? What visitors desire which information? How does display affect perceptions of cultures; how does conservation?
