参与性收藏的理论探析与思考

参与性收藏是近些年来西方一些博物馆基于"记录今天"理念而新兴的收藏。从收藏的角度,参与性收藏是博物馆通过主题策划与活动设计,组织社会公众携相关物件加入博物馆收藏,并成为馆藏的一部分,以参与的方式将公众与博物馆物品、内容、语境联系起来,其主题多与当下社会发展、生产生活方式变迁等相关,方式上突破传统收藏相对单一、封闭的模式,具有流动、共享、多元、充满活力的特点。从藏品内涵上,具有"记录今天""关注日常""突出藏品与人的关联"等特点,丰富了博物馆藏品的内涵与外延,这是对传统收藏的丰富与推进。在参与性收藏的视野下,航海类博物馆收藏具有更深广的创新空间。

A Exploration of the Participatory Collecting Theory

Participatory collecting is a new practice emerging in some of the western museums that ad-dresses the idea of"documenting the present".In participatory collecting,the museum organizes programs and activities to encourage the public to contribute their own objects to the museum collection.It connects the public with museum items,contents,and contexts through participation,and is closely associated with current social development and changes in production and life styles.It breaks through the limits of the rela-tively single and closed mode of traditional collecting and is characterized by mobility,sharing,diversity,and vitality.Featuring"documenting the present","focusing on daily life",and"highlighting the connection between people and collection",participatory collecting enriches the meaning and connotation of museum collections and adds new perspectives to traditional methods of collecting.With a participatory collecting view,maritime museums will have more broad space for innovation in their collecting practices.
