How About a Little Kiss, Don’t Be Unkind

The exhibition HOW ABOUT A LITTLE KISS, DON’T BE UNKIND posits a hypothesis regarding the history of museography. It turns the spotlight on museographical devices because by rendering them visible, they are no longer seen as subsidiary. This inversion highlights their role in the exhibitionary complex: as conventions, we have internalised them as transparent but in reality they signify. Using an audio guide, we look back at five iconic moments in the history of exhibitions and their displays, represented in the exhibition space by means of five museographical devices.
