從策展「再概念化」出發－－試論在美術館實踐性別平權教育之可能性

From Exhibition Curating to Its Re-conceptualization: On the Possibilities of Art Museum as the Agency of Fulfilling Gender Equality Education

透過「策展」機制，美術館得以作為再現社會秩序的場域，有時經由「導覽」，打破觀眾對策展主題的距離感，進而直接面對、欣賞藝術品，形塑觀眾特有的博物館經驗。將「性別議題」納入策展，始於七０年代西方藝術史裡的女性運動，並開展出多元歧異的思考脈絡與以性別為主體的策展意識。作為非正式學習場域的美術館，近期台灣展覽是否試圖（有意或無意）將性別議題納入？有哪些代表性展覽？觀眾可否透過欣賞「藝術創作裡的性別形象」，進而反思「自我的性別經驗」，並與策展主題相呼應？基於以上提問，本文首先引介台灣與「性別」有關的四個展覽，接著透過與策展團隊訪談，試圖釐清其策展意識與落實策略，再與觀眾博物館經驗及其回饋進行比對。結論中，借用多元文化教育課程「再概念化」的思維，提出在美術館裡實踐性別平權教育可能的努力方向及其倡議。Art museums could be a public field to reproduce social orders by the exhibition curating mechanism. Visitors could face artwork directly, enjoy it, and then shape their own personal museum experience. Sometimes through an exhibition docent, the distant might be broken away between museum artwork and visitors. Combining gender issues with exhibition themes, it began at the women's right movement in Western art history of 1970s, and carried out a diverse and divergent thinking and exhibition curating consciousness about gender issues as a subject. Art museums, as a field of informal learning, are there any exhibition trying to include (intentionally or unintentionally) gender issues recently in Taiwan? Is there any good practice? Can visitors appreciate and reflect 'their own gender experience' from 'watching those sex images on artwork,' and then corresponded with exhibition theme at the same time? Based on the above questions, this paper first introduced the four exhibitions included gender issues in Taiwan, and interviewed the exhibition teams to clarify their curating consciousness and strategies, and then compared with visitor feedbacks and their experience. Based on the idea 're-conceptualization' from multi-culture education, the conclusion was to discuss the possibilities of art museum as the agency of fulfilling gender equality education and how to develop exhibition curating strategies and programs.
