Learning unit contents
The aim of thise course is to draw up a history of relations between the museum and contemporary art, from the end of the 19th century to the present day.
The Museum of Contemporary Art is analyzed from the point of view of:
- its history and its present ;
- its architectural and museographic deployment
- its practices of acquisition, exhibition, mediation, conservation and restoration.
The museum's relationship to contemporary art involves all types of museums (museums of history, archeology, anthropology and ethnography, museums of science and technology or monographic museums and university collections) and to all types of intermediaries (artists and directors of institutions, but also curators, merchants, advisers, stage managers, scenographers, the architects).
At the theoretical part of the course are added:
- visits to institutions and/or exhibitions;
- meetings with personalities from the world of Institutions :
* Pierre-Olivier ROLLIN, art historian, director of the Art Museum of the Province of Hainaut, BPS22
* Manon D'HEANENS, conservator-restorer and doctoral student ULiège (title of the thesis: "Conservation-restoration in contemporary art collections")
* Yves RANDAXHE, curator of the contemporary art collection of the National Bank of Belgium
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Course given ex-cathedra, with several activities planned (visits, meetings)
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
face to face
Organisational adjustments related to the current health context
Teaching:
If the health situation calls for distance learning, this course will be given as follows: deposit, each week at the time of the course, of a powerpoint accompanied by a recording of my voice. I will also organize one or two videoconferencing sessions to answer student's questions.
Visits will be canceled.
The interventions of external speakers will be done either by videoconference at the time of the course, or in the form of a recording deposited in the "Support de cours". However, I am not sure that my guests can meet this request. It is therefore possible that these interventions will be canceled.
Evaluation :
In the event of exams organized remotely, the evaluation will be done by means of an oral videoconference.
Recommended or required readings
A bibliography is provided during the course
Assessment methods and criteria
Below you will find information on the evaluation methods planned for in-person and remote exams as well as those planned for hybrid sessions. Depending on how the health crisis evolves, the chosen method will be communicated to you no later than one month before the start of the exam session.
Oral examination
The evaluation focuses on two aspects:
- acquired knowledge (theoretical part of the course)
- comments on the visits and meetings made during the course
