We are very excited to bring you great news: the blog “Reading” The National Gallery was finally launched on the web. This blog was founded by a research student as a project-based research from the Bartlett School of Architecture, University College of London. The intention is to connect the theories developed in art history in viewing art works and the discourse of the museum promoted with audio guides, labels, among other things. It will offer in time various projects, in which the first one is the audio guide “The Masterpieces” This interdisciplinary practice wants thus in the future to develop new methods to experience artworks within the institutional framework of the museum.
This blog has to be considered as an open communication platform, and not as a final project, so that theory and practice will eventually become mutual relays.
