Experimenting Interpretation: Methods for Developing and Guiding a "Vibrant Visit"
Pyne Feinberg, Pohanna; Lemaire, Marie-Hélène
Journal of Museum Education, v46 n3 p357-374 2021
This article offers insights from an on-going research project titled, "Experimenting Interpretation," which explores pedagogical approaches to guided visits that enable visitors to encounter and interpret multi-sensory contemporary art through attunement to embodied knowledge and affective responses. The case study discussed here was conducted at PHI Foundation for Contemporary Art, located in Montreal, Quebec, during an exhibition by Slovenian artist Jasmina Cibic. Our findings indicate that poetic strategies can be employed as prompts that provide a prismatic lens for engagement and lead to constellatory interpretations in the form of converging and diverging questions and comments. Additionally, we suggest that gallery educators who would like to develop and guide visits that are somatically and affectively attuned would benefit from developing methods that are informed by relational thinking and new materialist theories (i.e. material agency and vibrant dynamics of place).
