談策展實務的「未知」：以「丁肇中特展」為例

The “Unknown” of Exhibit Developing：A Case Study from the “Explore the 90% Unknown： Samuel C. C. Ting and the Particle” Exhibit

博物館展示的策劃工作相當繁瑣，必須因應各個階段的需求來作整合性的動作。規劃、設計、製作等步驟耳熟能詳，但所指的通常是展示內容本身，而這往往只是策展工作的一部份，其餘要面對的還有如檔期場地的安排、外界資源的有無等未知因素。「探索 90的未知丁肇中與基本粒子特展」以未知為名，展示內容多為高能物理領域，策展難度相形更高。本文主要探討策展過程中的挑戰及因應之道：一、要將純科學的內容詮釋讓觀眾理解，展示手法上需加上趣味與創意，找出與觀眾的親近感；二、檔期上的不確定無須太掛懷，只要有以待之，等待的是機緣的到來；三、資源的運用上，需依靠策展成員間相互支援與互通有無，並適時由策展人來整合。最後，對於特展主人翁丁肇中院士是否能前來參觀展覽，就只能期待，無法預知。

The work of museum exhibit developing is quite heavy and trivial. We are familiar with the process of planning, design and fabrication which refers to the exhibit content itself and belongs to one part of the work. Actually, there are many unknown factors, such as arrangements for exhibit schedule, location planning and looking for outside resources as well. “Explore the 90% Unknown: Samuel C. C. Ting and the Particle” is a special exhibit about high energy physics. Obviously, it is more difficult than many other subjects. This article tries to discuss all the challenges and solutions on the processes of exhibit developing: 1. For the visitors, this exhibited content is not easy; therefore, the construction techniques should be more interesting and creative. 2. For the time and location of the exhibit, just wait for the proper chance to arrive. 3. For the utilization of resources, cooperation and supports among team members are definitely required. Finally, whether the key character of this exhibit, Nobel Laureate Samuel C. C. Ting, would come to visit this exhibit or not, is unpredictable.
