TFAM’s auditorium Thinking through the Visual: Curating as an Alternative Way of Constructing Art Histories
Art histories and (art) museums have been closely interdependent in terms of mechanism and profession. Nevertheless, art histories do not rest on the laurels as mere theories of museology or phantoms of art institutions. Museums are not simply platforms for art histories or display techniques of artistic mise-en-scène, either. The discussion will revolve around the thinking and legacies of art history construction within museums, thereby addressing the question as to what way of understanding did the fictionality of art histories embody when they no longer use the sequential exhibition of “objects” as their narrative but involve non-material images.
