In this project I examine curatorial processes and the experience of constructing and viewing museum exhibitions. Specifically I have been interested in the way in which certain exhibits facilitate powerful emotional responses from their viewers. I suggest that the curators of these kinds of exhibitions employ strategies which not only choreograph the displays but the viewers' bodies themselves as they move through them. As a case study of an experiential exhibition I focus on the District Six Museum where I have been part of its curatorial team since 1999. The work of curatorship that I have done at the Museum during the period of my registration for this degree constitutes part of this submission. 2016-10-03T08:42:43Z 2016-10-03T08:42:43Z 2003 Master Thesis Masters MPhil http://hdl.handle.net/11427/22063 eng application/pdf Michaelis School of Fine Art Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town |
