First Chinese Iconographic Archive Is Launched

2019-11-26

The first iconography thesaurus targeted at Chinese art was recently launched by the Victoria and Albert (V&A) Museum. The Chinese Iconography Thesaurus (https://chineseiconography.org) program is led by Zhang Hongxing V&A senior curator in Chinese painting and graphic art, and was established in 2016 under support from the UK Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS). According to Zhang Hongxing via The Art Newspaper China, although iconography can be dated back to a century ago in western art research, it is still underdeveloped in China, where current museum collection catalogues only allows searching by work title, author, time and material.Although the western iconography thesaurus is quite established, it is based on categorization of western art, while some ancient Chinese phrases (for example, “cat”’s alias was “li nu (狸奴)” in ancient China) and unique Chinese cultural concepts, like some concepts from Chinese Buddhism and Daoism, don’t apply to the western system. This also sets the stage for a separate iconography system for Chinese art.The CIT is based on the Iconclass system. Now it’s still a demo, only including 2,688 works of art collected by the V&A Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the National Palace Museum, and seven categories of over 10,000 keywords in total.“These keywords are not imagined by us out of no where. They are built upon collections, especially records of these collections.” Zhang Hongxing said. His team drew information from ancient records of objects, painting and calligraphy, especially the Shi Qu Library of Treasured Works and Midian Library of Palace Treasures of the Qianlong Emperor’s reign in Qing dynasty, referred to the experience of the Chinese libraries in the early 20th century on transferring ancient books into modern knowledge classification, and extracted keywords manually, as computer-generated keywords still contain many errors.In the future, the CIT program plans to expand its keywords to 30,000 to 40,000, and obtains the access of more museums and libraries’ collection images. Zhang Hongxing hopes the program can become an online library, categorization tool and image gallery for researchers, curators and art buffs.Source | The Art Newspaper ChinaAuthor | Chen LuEdited and translated by Lu Yufan

Art Engagement and College Curriculum: Strategies for Collection-based Teaching

2019-11-22

Liliana Milkova is a curator of academic programs at the Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) of the arts institution Oberlin College in Ohio, USA. The museum houses an encyclopedic collection of over 15,000 objects and has served the academic community across disciplines and programs since its opening in 1917. For years, Milkova and her colleagues have been devoting themselves to placing the museum on the campus map, helping develop effective curricular programs that could maximize the advantage of the museum’s collections regardless of disciplinary focus or course level. In an article for University Museums and Collections Journal, Milkova summarized their experience into some strategies for academic museums and galleries on building successful outreach programs.The Allen Memorial Art Museum (AMAM) of Oberlin College (Photo via college website) • Create a full-time position for a trained art historian, archeologist, anthropologist or another specialist with interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge of material culture, extensive teaching experience, and dynamic and engaging personal style to conduct outreach to the academic community. • Work with your campus teaching and learning center to determine awareness of and interest in object-based pedagogies among the faculty, as well as the constituencies that would benefit the most from them. • Secure the support of the museum/gallery director and the college/university’s academic deans; be prepared to discuss the benefits of teaching with art and to present data from other institutions. • Develop short informational sessions on teaching with collections and implement them within existing pedagogy workshops, departmental meetings, training sessions, academic gatherings, centers, etc. • Enlist faculty who already have taught with collections to share insights and conduct short teaching demonstrations for their colleagues who can see first-hand the kinds of learning experiences that can be orchestrated for their students. Allow time for discussion and collective brainstorming. • Design museum/gallery workshops specifically geared towards all newly hired faculty and select new staff members. Include interactive components and presentations from current faculty. Conduct workshops before the start of the academic semester, so there is sufficient time for faculty to conceive of and add museum visits to their syllabi. • Establish clear rules or expectations for individual roles when planning and implementing museum class sessions. • Seek investment from the art history and studio art departments in making art accessible and relevant to all academic disciplines and in utilizing tools and methods from art history, an intrinsically interdisciplinary field. Typically the most frequent users of the museum, art history and studio art faculty may feel that expanding the museum’s integration into the curriculum might limit their and their students’ own access to the collection, so it will be helpful to secure their support and assistance early on. • Consider offering social occasions (such as receptions) to bring faculty and senior administrators to the museum and/or financial support (grants, fellowships) to faculty interested in working with curators and the collection to develop museum components for their courses. • Stress to all audiences that collections offer many possibilities beyond content-related connections. Also emphasize that works of art can be used as the vehicles for cultivating or enhancing a variety of skills and thinking dispositions. • Educate key campus populations about your museum/gallery’s operations, why museum rules exists and why they must be followed. • Produce short informational brochures (with concrete examples and useful tips) to distribute to faculty and staff. • Attend general faculty meetings and other events, where useful knowledge can be gained and the museum/gallery presence will be noted. Campus visibility for museum curators and educators is very important. • Consult other academic museum/gallery staff about strategies that have worked for them. • Identify courses with close ties to the collection and contact their instructors with concrete suggestions for artworks and ways to integrate them into the course syllabus. • Create opportunities for faculty from many disciplines to meet and mingle with the curatorial staff – often new ideas and collaborative projects emerge from exactly such situations. • Keep your museum/gallery staff informed about new pedagogies and what makes them effective for millennial learners.Source | University Museums and Collections JournalAuthor | Liliana MilkovaEditor | Lu Yufan

Upcoming Museum Sim Lets Players Combine Artifacts to Tell Cool Stories

2019-11-15

Finally, a museum-themed sim is about to come. Naming the sim Mondo Museum, its designer Michel McBride-Charpentier said it’s intended to represent an ideal version of what museums can be.In the game that is scheduled to come in 2020, players will build and curate museums, mixing and matching artistic and historic objects. McBride-Charpentier said that the game won’t feature any fictional art or fictional history. What’s more, the sim will encourage players to contextualize history by combining different objects across time and regions. For example, McBride-Charpentier plans to put in the game a collection of space-related objects, and players could combine models of the solar system with artifacts from ancient Egypt to show how Egyptians understood astronomy. “The goal is to get players to seeing these relationships between items from separate collections and how they might combine together.” McBride-Charpentier said.McBride-Charpentier said he was inspired by his research trips to prestigious museums in the United States and Canada, especially how those museums mix a variety of objects together. But he also emphasized that the game won’t reflect what the museums currently are, but will be “a more utopian version of what museums should be like” - for example, there won’t be security guards in the game, and players will have to manage the wear and tear on exhibits from handsy visitors themselves; and the game won’t uphold the often exclusionary system of large museums, including the practice of holding onto artifacts that were looted from their countries of origin. If players want to showcase objects from different origins, they will have to ask loans from museums where these items rightly belong, and in order for the loan to succeed, players also need to have their museums checked by the museum directors, to see if it’s good enough to display their items.McBride-Charpentier said he wants to create a game that both satisfies management sim diehards and helps players to see real-life museums in a new light.Source | KotakuAuthor | Gita JacksonEditor | Lu Yufan
