Thomas P. Campbell: Weaving narratives in museum galleries
wie Sie tun, machen, Film, Beispiel
As the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, Thomas P. Campbell thinks deeply about curating—not just selecting art objects, but placing them in a setting where the public can learn their stories. With glorious images, he shows how his curation philosophy works for displaying medieval tapestries—and for the over-the-top fashion/art of Alexander McQueen. (From The Design Studio session at TED2012, guest-curated by Chee Pearlman and David Rockwell.)

Dr. Thomas Campbell, Director of the Metropolitan Museum in New York, explains the relationship between room sized palatial tapestries and their narrative design and how the narratives invite us to look at objects in museums. He initiates his talk with an admonition against situating ourselves in art historical rhetoric and looking at objects, allowing them to tell us their stories. Dr. Campbell explains how he took this kind of a narrative, which is of course in his field, and expanded this aesthetic view to other diverse objects in the encyclopedic Met. He embraces media, such as YouTube to interest viewers in the age of technology with the kinds of histories objects tell. However, what is really exciting is relating the objects viewed on a video monitor or cell phone to visiting the museum and becoming excited with the experience of looking at the actual object and experiencing the authenticity of that object as well as its placement in a historical narrative context. This is brilliant because he makes the information in art accessible to everyone.

The web is great... but nothing replaces, 3d, touching... smells, the sounds in the rooms... how they echo... the sounds of whispers and chatting... The taste in the air... the heat in the room... The ability to freely explore against being shown round... the liberty there is in real life is not replaced by technology... well... not as things stand right now.

I really want to go to the natural history museum in London. There's one piece in my lbrary recently of a stuffed rare oil bird from Africa, I was looking at it for about 5 minutes. Just so real, and no jpeg can match it - I could easily spend a year in the natural history museum not bored.
