Museum Rhetoric: Emotion & Argumentation in Museum Displays | Frans Hals Museum & De Hallen Haarlem

Описание: Analyzing Museum Rhetoric - Leiden University
What do 17th Century still-life paintings tell us about colonial and trade relations in the Dutch Golden Age? The exhibition, "A Global Table," compares historical and contemporary artworks in a joint exhibition by the Frans Hals Museum and De Hallen Museum. This video will analyze the three main strategies of classical rhetoric used for the framework of this exhibition and demonstrate their effectiveness.

“What is the political and cultural significance of food? What are the effects of past colonial relations on the world trade in food and the distribution of wealth?” "A Global Table," a joint exhibition between De Hallen Haarlem and Frans Hals Museum (Haarlem, NL) curated by Abigail Winograd (Israël, 1983), juxtaposes a collective of contemporary works, featured in De Hallen, and Dutch Golden Age paintings of the Frans Hals Museum. Under the theme "A Global Table," these works can be seen as historical documents charting the growth of economic power and colonial expansion of the Republic and the Dutch contribution to the creation of the world economy.
