ABSTRACT

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).

摘要

本文提供了一项名为“实验性解释”的正在进行的研究项目的见解，探索引导参观的教学方法，使参观者能够通过与具身知识和情感反应的协调来接触和解释多感官的当代艺术。这里讨论的案例研究是在位于魁北克蒙特利尔的 PHI 当代艺术基金会在斯洛文尼亚艺术家 Jasmina Cibic 的展览期间进行的。我们的研究结果表明，诗意的策略可以作为提示，为参与提供棱镜镜头，并以聚合和分歧的问题和评论的形式导致星座解释。此外，我们建议想要发展和指导身体和情感协调的参观的画廊教育者将受益于开发以关系思维和新唯物主义理论为基础的方法（即
