Pendampingan perancangan ruang pamer museum dr.AK.Gani pada pameran bersama Museum Negeri Sumatera Selatan

A successful exhibition cannot be separated from the proper arrangement of the exhibition space. A good exhibition space arrangement will generate interest from exhibition visitors. Moreover, what if the exhibition is a museum exhibition. The arrangement of museum exhibitions requires a more complex arrangement. South Sumatra Province held a joint exhibition which various state museums throughout South Sumatra attended. Because various museums attend it, a good exhibition space arrangement is needed to present an optimal exhibition space so that it is attractive to visitors and is not inferior to other museums in the exhibition. Therefore, this service aims to assist dr.AK.Gani Museum as a partner to organize its exhibition space to make it more optimal. The community service activities offered at this activity are assistance in designing informative brochures and showing off collections. Exhibition activities went well and safely following health protocols during the COVID-19 pandemic, attended by various students and the general public. The activity method includes focus group discussions, exhibition room design, and effective exhibition space design implementation to produce the dr.AK.Gani Museum exhibition design has been implemented at the 2020 Joint Exhibition at the South Sumatra State Museum

Lighting design method of museum exhibition hall based on Internet of Things and deep learning

In order to improve the lighting effect of the museum exhibition hall, clearly express the exhibition content of the museum exhibition hall, a lighting design method of museum exhibition hall based on Internet of Things and deep learning is proposed. According to the characteristics and functions of light sources and lamps, select appropriate light sources and lamps, and establish a convolutional neural network to evaluate the performance of lighting characteristic network model through computing accuracy, precision, recall and F1 score. Because the illumination of museum exhibition hall cannot be too high, the light projection method is designed to realize the lighting design of museum exhibition hall from two aspects: lighting mode and lighting characteristics, environmental lighting and light source form. The experimental results show that the lighting design method of the museum exhibition hall based on the Internet of Things and deep learning can achieve more than 70%, which has a good lighting effect and can clearly express the display content of the museum exhibition hall.

Research on the "Shape" Design Method of Museum Exhibition Space under the Background of New Media Art

Traditional museum space design is generally limited to cost and engineering volume, and follows the conventional unified design process of large-scale space fixtures, isolating the design contents of space hard decoration and internal soft decoration and display, and even flood lighting intelligence, lacking unified overall consideration and response. The disjointed design in the early stage led to a large number of space contradictions in the exhibition placement and actual use and operation after the completion of the hard installation and delivery. The intervention of new media art changes the traditional exhibition form. At the same time, the traditional public space design process also begins to change because the exhibition activity of new media art forms has many requirements such as technology, process, material, sound and light, and even environmental psychological effect on the space form and scale. Based on case studies of different characteristics, this paper summarizes the systematic design methods of new media art's involvement in the hard installation of museum exhibition space from three dimensions of spatial layout, spatial form and spatial scope.

Religious Object” Exhibition in the Context of Cultural Change and Covid-19 Social Distancing (Case studies of Khmer’s Nagar boat in the South of Vietnam) | Trưng bày hiện vật tôn giáo trong bối cảnh biến đổi văn hóa và giãn cách xã hội do Covid-19 (Trường hợp ghe ngo của người Khmer ở Nam Bộ, Việt Nam)

The museums, nowadays, facing to many challenges in religious objects exhibition. Especially, in the current context of Covid-19 pandemic and cultural change, regular methods of the museum exhibition expose many limitations. Through a case study of ghe ngo (the Khmer’s Nagar boat) exhibition at the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology (VME), this paper discusses some principles dealing with the religious objects in the museum, and outline some modern display methods that can contribute to improving the display efficiency of ghe ngo exhibition towards the museum sustainable development. Trưng bày hiện vật tôn giáo vốn đặt ra nhiều thách thức đối với các bảo tàng. Đặc biệt, trong bối cảnh Covid-19 và biến đổi văn hóa hiện nay, các phương thức trưng bày truyền thống thể hiện nhiều mặt hạn chế. Qua trường hợp ghe ngo của người Khmer đang được trưng bày tại Bảo tàng Dân tộc học Việt Nam, bài viết này thảo luận về việc ứng xử với hiện vật tôn giáo, tín ngưỡng trong bảo tàng, và một số phương pháp trưng bày hiện đại nhằm góp phần nâng cao hiệu quả trưng bày ghe ngo của người Khmer hướng tới mục tiêu phát triển bền vững bảo tàng.

Ephemeral Encounters

In this “report from the field,” we write from two perspectives, as a curator and as an advisor, on the process of interpreting Native American documents in the 2016 American Philosophical Society Museum exhibition, “Gathering Voices: Thomas Jefferson and Native America.” We share insights into our curatorial and representational goals, and reflect on the challenges of interpreting Indigenous heritage and traditional knowledges in materials that have been captured in colonial collections. We show how archival documents tend to silence as much as showcase ephemeral encounters, and how power in museum environments often remains embedded within the routine structures of colonial settler institutions and practices. We critique our own exhibition by noting how, despite our best efforts, inherent tensions among Indigenous histories, decolonizing ideals, and colonial archives shaped the process and resulted in irreconcilable omissions. Yet, we argue that cross-cultural collaboration is essential when working in colonial archives. Only by inviting Indigenous people into the process can we make progress toward restoring living relationships among past voices and contemporary communities. In concluding, we offer advice on practical approaches to working with Indigenous collaborators and advisors.

Exploring Memory, Heritage, and Tradition through the Museum Exhibition "Ingrians – The Forgotten Finns"

This article explores notions of memory, heritage, and tradition and their respective domains vis-à-vis a reading of the museum exhibition Ingrians – The Forgotten Finns held at the National Museum of Finland in 2020. Ingrian Finns are a Finnish-speaking historical minority of Russia and the Soviet Union. This article's contributions are threefold. First, it produces new knowledge on contemporary memory culture surrounding Ingrian Finns' history, thus opening perspectives on memory issues relating to minority groups in general. Second, it provides knowledge on contemporary phenomena related to past presencing as both localised and globalized processes. Third, it provides knowledge on the ideologies and epistemologies associated with past presencing, and it promotes a dialog between research fields that center around on concepts of memory, heritage, and tradition.
