Contemporary Art Museums in Converted Buildings in Shanghai

Contemporary Art Museums in Converted Buildings in Shanghai

초록/요약

Museum research in the twenty-first century requires in- terdisciplinary and multiple perspectives. Several separately studied museum-related disciplines have been organically combined and studied as a whole. The most significant disjoint area is the museum and its building. This thesis takes Shanghai’s three art museums converted from old buildings, the Rockbund Art Museum, the Power Station of Art and the Museum of Contemporary Art Shanghai as examples, analyses how converted buildings naturally enriches with cultural meanings based on several theories and examples concerning architecture, culture, and history.This thesis demonstrates that converted buildings have an ideal narrative environment and a higher level of narrativity. Also, converted build- ings provide an ideal exhibition environment in which the immersive and the discursive experiences coexist. This thesis regards the Rockbund Art Museum and the Power Station of Art as “canon” and the Museum of Con- temporary Art Shanghai as “archive” based on Aleida and Jan Assmann’s concept of “canon and archive.”
