Pierre Bourdieu: “The museum is important…”

“The museum is important for those who go there as it allows them to distinguish themselves from those who do not go there!”

On February 21, 1972, to open a series of programs entitled “Museums of Today and Tomorrow”, Jocelyn de Noblet received Pierre Bourdieu, who presented the framework, conclusions and challenges of this fascinating study on museum attendance and its social significance.

In 1966, a study by Pierre Bourdieu and Alain Darbel entitled “L’amour de l’art” was published by “Editions de Minuit”. European art museums and their public. Based on a series of surveys, the purpose was summarized in the conclusion as follows:
If the love of art is indeed the mark of the election separating, as if by an invisible and impassable barrier, those who are touched by it from those who have not received this grace, it is understandable that museums betray, in the smallest details of their morphology and organization, their true function, which is to reinforce in some people the sense of belonging and in others the sense of exclusion.

The Time Machine Project is by far the most ambitious and far-reaching project ever undertaken using Big Data of the Past. Revolutionising the way we experience European history and culture, the project is an international collaboration to build a map of European history that spans thousands of years.

Design Processes and Story Frameworks | 28–30.11.2019

Teacher: Dan Nessler

During 3 days we had a course on design processes with the famous double diamond pattern. It was an experience rich in beautiful exchanges. An interesting exercise was to present another colleague’s project. I presented Kristina’s project on Bulgarian heritage. This approach has enriched my vision of my own exhibition project.

Museomix – Palais de Rumine, Lausanne, 08-10.2019

During my studies I participated in the Museomix creative marathon, whose goal is to bring together people with different profiles to create in 3 days an exhibition concept on a topic given by the organizers. Our group had the topic “Home sweet home” and had to reinvent reading spaces for the Cantonal and University Library of Lausanne.
