Abstract

Zvuk se kao medij za prijenos glazbe ili ostalih zvučnih poruka koristi u mnogim muzejima i galerijama širom Hrvatske i svijeta. Najčešće se koristi kao didaktički alat za usmjeravanje posjetitelja, s ciljem da omogući bolje razumijevanje kulture, pa tako i samog sadržaja muzejskih i galerijskih institucija. Zvuk muzejima i galerijama može pridonijeti na razne načine: kao sastavni dio muzejskog predmeta, sredstvo za interpretaciju, strategija za angažiranje posjetitelja, činitelj kreativnog prostora za umjetnike ili, pak, kao konceptualni model koji ocrtava naš odnos prema svijetu. U ovom radu koncentrirat ću se na područje grada Zagreba, kako bi istražila načine na koje muzeji i galerije eksperimentiraju sa spomenutim zvučnim iskustvima. Korištenje zvuka, kao interpretacijske strategije, može poboljšati interpretaciju predmeta, pobuditi emocionalne reakcije kod posjetitelja te omogućiti bolje razumijevanje mjesta koje zvuk ima u multisenzornom okruženju. Također, kao važan resurs u muzejima i galerijama, zvuk nudi mogućnosti poboljšanja, već ustaljene, izlagačke prakse. Upravo zbog toga, naglasak je u ovom radu stavljen na svojstva zvuka kao medija i utjecaja koji ima na razvijanje aktivne svijesti kod posjetitelja - s ciljem da se pomoću primjera dosadašnje prakse ponude i neka nova, inovativna rješenja, vezana uz problematiku izlaganja u muzejskim i galerijskim prostorima. Muzeji i galerije koji su spomenuti u radu su: Hrvatski prirodoslovni muzej (HPM), Muzej suvremene umjetnosti (MSU), Tiflološki muzej, Muzej grada Zagreba, Etnografski muzej, Tehnički muzej, Galerija Greta, Galerija Močvara, Galerija Nova i Atelijeri Žitnjak (Galerija AŽ).

Abstract (english)

Sound is used as a medium for transmitting music or other sound messages in many museums and galleries throughout Croatia and the world. It is most often used as a didactic tool to guide visitors, with the aim of enabling a better understanding of culture, as well as the content of museum and gallery institutions. Sound can contribute to museums and galleries in various ways: as an integral part of museum objects, a means of interpretation, a strategy for engaging visitors, a factor in creative space for artists, or as a conceptual model that outlines our relationship to the world. In this paper, I will be concentrating on the area of the city of Zagreb, in order to investigate the ways in which museums and galleries experiment with the aforementioned sound experiences. The use of sound, as an interpretation strategy, can improve the interpretation of objects, arouse emotional reactions in visitors and enable a better understanding of the place that sound has in a multi-sensory environment. Also, as an important resource in museums and galleries, sound offers opportunities to improve the already installed exhibition practice. Precisely because of this, in this paper the emphasis will be placed on the properties of sound as a medium and the influence it has on the development of active awareness among visitors - with the aim of using examples of previous practice to offer some new, innovative solutions related to the issue of exhibition in museums and gallery spaces. The museums and galleries that are mentioned in the paper are: Croatian Natural History Museum (HPM), Museum of Contemporary Art (MSU), Typhological Museum, Zagreb City Museum, Ethnographic Museum, Technical Museum, Greta Gallery, Močvara Gallery, Nova Gallery and Žitnjak Ateliers (Gallery AŽ).
