Preguntes per a la creació d’un full de sala

What does the exhibition room sheet that accompanies each exhibition mean for the centre? What are its intentions and objectives? Who is it aimed at? What language does it use? What tone and style does it use? What are the format and design like? How is it distributed? Is it understood as part of a series? Has there been any feedback on these pieces so far?

With these questions as the driving force, this prototype seeks to investigate and work around the "room sheets", in order to delve deeper into the use of language, tone, style, structures and formats that generate the discourses of an art centre. The aim is to pay attention not only to the discursive and stylistic aspects of the writing, but also to the visual and formal part that has to do with the design and production decisions regarding the pieces. 

BACKGROUND

- Need, assignment, motivation or desire to write a text.

- List of prototype questions.

INGREDIENTS

Use the questions in the document formalising this prototype, depending on the stage of the writing process you are at.

STEPS

This prototype also gives rise to other possible forms of implementation. It could consist of a more in-depth face-to-face accompaniment of the writing process or include working sessions with the people in charge of writing or designing the room sheet to open up the process with specific professionals (not only as a subsequent consultation and correction).

In our case, the Sojornar educational project allowed us to carry out, during the research phase, a participatory dynamic on understanding the text of a room sheet with the fourth-year students from Escola Drassanes. We created images and words to describe the exhibition, and then explored through bodily reactions how we understand the vocabulary and types of expressions used on the room sheet to explain the exhibition. Although not essential in replicating the prototype, processes such as this help to enrich the project.
