Emancipation of Wonder

SPECIAL GUIDED TOURS FOR ART MUSEUMS

 

In EMANCIPATION OF WONDER, the discourse about art, which can at times be perceived as elitist or inaccessible, aims to be expanded to include deliberately non-academic, spontaneous codes.

 

As a strategy, the artists record the comments and interpretations of children between aged 8 – 10 while they visit the exhibition. Out of the resulting documentation material, Navaridas & Deutinger develop guided museum tours for adults, performed by actors acting as art mediators. The commentaries on works of art become acts of performative art.

 PRESS

In the original language of eight-year-olds the tour led by Pia Hierzegger offers an examination of art that is not obscured by art-historical tidbits of knowledge, and includes spatial explorations far beyond the standardised walkaround tour. Entertaining, eye-opening, very fantastic.

Kleine Zeitung, Ute Baumhackl, 31/10/2020

 

It feels unbelievably good that thoughts and reactions which one tends to culture-consciously conceal, are unabashedly served here on a verbal platter.
