Seminar: 1 Wall 10 Objects 100 Narrations
Speaker: Prof. Dr. Ayşen Savaş
Time: 6:00 - 7:30 pm
The relationship between the exhibition object and the exhibition space is a subject of research and practice in the field of musicography. If the wall is seen as an immutable museum element, placing the object to be exhibited on, next to, alongside or despite a wall will require a creative design process. The applied seminar to be held aims to develop experimental processes for the exhibition of randomly selected objects. The aim is to design the object-space relationship and to write different stories by utilizing the power of artistic/architectural installation. While the term "narration" can refer specifically to oral storytelling, it can also refer to different representational techniques that can be developed to visualize the narrative of a story.
