Abstract

How do art museums illuminate patriarchal ideologies for the general public? In this article I share my experiences with critical pedagogies developed for the exhibition Like Betzy (2019–2020) by Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum (Northern Norway Art Museum). The art museum intervened in its exhibition and monuments in public spaces to attract engagement with local communities, critically question, and instigate dialogue and debate on the persistence of gender inequality. Using institutional critique as a theoretical and methodological framework, this analysis demonstrates a case of art museum activism. Additionally, I address the implications of transgression in the art museum's normative modus operandi. Although this case study is specific to a local context, I argue that monuments can serve as a site for public vulnerability, a place where museums step beyond their walls and outside their echo chambers to incite positive social justice-oriented changes in communities.

作为活动家的艺术博物馆:案例研究
艺术博物馆如何为公众揭示父权意识形态?在这篇文章中,我将分享自己为挪威北部艺术博物馆(Nordnorsk Kunstmuseum)的展览《像贝茜一样》(2019-2020)所开发的批判性教学法的经验。该艺术博物馆对其展览和公共空间中的纪念碑进行了干预,以吸引当地社区的参与,对持续存在的性别不平等现象提出批判性质疑,并引发对话和辩论。本分析以机构批判为理论和方法框架,展示了一个艺术博物馆行动主义的案例。此外,我还探讨了艺术博物馆规范运作方式中的越轨行为的影响。虽然本案例研究是针对当地环境的,但我认为,纪念碑可以作为公共脆弱性的场所,在这里,博物馆可以走出围墙,跳出回声室,在社区中引发积极的、以社会正义为导向的变革。
