Oppgaven er delt i to hoveddeler: en analyse av tv-programmet Antiques Roadshow (BBC) fulgt av en museologisk drøfting av programmets virkemidler. Analysematerialet består av to feltstudier ved innspilling av Antiques Roadshow i Skottland og av programmet Antikrundan i Sverige. Hovedvekten legges på besøket til Skottland, og oppgaven går derfor dypt inn i skotsk kontekst. Drøftingen identifiserer tre hovedtemaer som går igjen i programmets virkemidler: steder, gjenstander og formidling. Gjennom analyse av disse virkemidlene gjøres det et forsøk på å identifisere programmets stil, og slik blir formidling via nye medier blir satt i sammenheng med tradisjonell museumsformidling. Oppgaven vil bidra til en ny forståelse av gjenstandsbasert historieformidling på museum i ett nytt, digitalt medielandskap.

Skulpturen var plassert utenfor The Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art under innspillingen av Antiques Roadshow på samme sted, sommeren 2013. VII Forord Takk til veileder Arne Bugge Amundsen for gode innspill underveis i arbeidet med oppgaven. Takk til gode medstudenter i museologi for ros og kritikk. En spesiell takk til Line, Susanne og Per Magnus for gjennomlesing.

Den er fra en annen tid, og presenteres på et sted som gir gjenstanden en ny eller fordypet mening. Det fortelles historier om gjenstanden som gir den kontekst. Gjenstanden formidles gjennom et medium som påvirker både hva publikum gjør og hvordan gjenstanden blir oppfattet av dem. Dette kunne vært en beskrivelse av publikumsopplevelsen på et kulturhistorisk museum. Det kunne også vært en beskrivelse av publikumsopplevelsen av et tv-program om historiske gjenstander. I denne oppgaven undersøker jeg hva mediet betyr for formidling av kulturhistoriske gjenstander. 1.1 Motivasjon: Da jeg fikk plass på masterstudiet i museologi begynte jeg med en gang å lete etter tema for masteroppgaven. For å bli inspirert, dro jeg på flere museer. Jeg besøkte utstillinger og tenkte at jeg skulle gjøre en grundig analyse av en av disse, men jeg syntes det var vanskelig å distansere meg fra min egen rolle som publikum. Etter hvert ble jeg mer interessert i hvordan publikum oppførte seg. Mest interessert ble jeg i selve møtet mellom publikum og gjen- standen. Jeg tok med meg perspektiver fra mine tidligere studier i medievitenskap og estetikk inn i arbeidet med masteroppgaven, og følte at disse sammen med museologisk teori kunne belyse temaet på en god måte. Denne masteroppgaven i museologi fikk derfor et medie-estetisk fokus. Med denne oppgaven vil jeg vise hvordan gjenstander estetiseres når de formidles på museum ved fremvisning i museer. Etter hvert som jeg jobbet meg gjennom medie-estetisk teori og forskning1 dukket det opp andre interessante formidlingsformer som var lite utforsket, nemlig formidling av historiske gjenstander på tv. Forskjellen i bruken av mediet i en tv-sending sammenlignet med et museumsbesøk interesserte meg, kombinert med at formidling i dag i stor grad foregår via skjermer – også i museet. Dette førte til at jeg valgte å analysere formidling i en annen form enn den som finnes i museene, for å se om det kan fortelle oss noe om hvordan museer bør forholde seg til formidling nå og i fremtiden. En av grunn- tankene er at museets valg av formidlingsmåte ikke bare er kulturformidlende, men også 1 Hausken, Liv. Medieestetikk. Studier i estetisk medieanalyse. (Oslo: Scandinavian Academic Press, 2009.) 1 kulturproduserende. Jeg argumenterer derfor for at den formidlingsform museet velger gir uttrykk for en bestemt oppfatning om hvordan gjenstander skal oppleves.2 Dette gjør jeg ved å ta en omvei via en annen formidlingsform: tv-programmet Antiques Roadshow. 1.2 Introduksjon til temaet: Antiques Roadshow Antiques Roadshow er et tv-konsept utviklet av den britiske statskanalen British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), der antikvitetseksperter reiser til ulike steder i Storbritannia for å vurdere og taksere gjenstander som lokalbefolkningen der presenterer for dem. Programmet filmes på forskjellige lokasjoner i hele Storbritannia, er åpent for alle, og det er gratis å være med. Besøkende som kommer på en av Antiques Roadshows innspillinger har med seg en gjenstand de vil ha vurdert, og når de kommer blir de sortert i ulike køer etter ulike gjenstandskategorier som glass, malerier, sølvtøy og smykker, bøker osv. Deretter får den besøkende møte en antikvitetsekspert som spesialiserer seg på den type gjenstand de har tatt med. Alle besøkende får en gratis evaluering og taksering av gjenstandene de har tatt med. Dersom antikvitetsekspertene finner noen spesielt interessante gjenstander, kan de besøkende bli invitert til å komme på tv. Gjenstanden blir da ikke vurdert med det samme, isteden filmer man en samtale om gjenstanden mellom den besøkende og antikvitetseksperten

We are also busy planning our Summer Action Auction, our LIVE! on CET Reimagined event (details coming in the next issue of this magazine!) and more. We are getting 2021 off to a great start and we hope you are too. To support our community’s young learners, we started airing Let’s Learn, a new hour-long daytime program featuring instruction by educators and virtual field trips for kids ages 3 to 8, especially those learning at home. SOITA also continued to offer a robust schedule of educator-and-student-focused workshops, including new age-specific courses about Google Classroom. We are also creating new videos as part of American Graduate: Getting to Work. In the production space, we are continuing to produce new episodes of The Art Show and SHOWCASE with Barbara Kellar and, as I write this, we are working to build a new remote-interview set-up in our studios, which we can continue to use well after the pandemic has ended.

  • The Spectacle of Valuation
    Valuation Studies 1(2) 2013: 119–123 Editorial note Valuation Studies and the Spectacle of Valuation Fabian Muniesa and Claes-Fredrik Helgesson The making of valuations is not only an activity cherished by scholars engaging with this journal. The performance of valuations is at times furthermore something devoured as a public spectacle. Calling something a “spectacle” might sound defamatory, especially if one relies on the rather daunting turn the word took after Guy Debord’s 1967 La Société du Spectacle (Debord 1994), but it can sound positive too if emphasis is put on the collective enjoyment, on the memorable performance and, in short, on culture. In this editorial introduction we want to use the notion of spectacle to point to an interesting topic for valuation studies in general and for Valuation Studies (i.e. this journal) in particular. Valuation is not only something that is done, it is in addition something that people may watch, as a spectacle. It is this aspect of valuation that we aim to begin exploring here. When we say that people watch the performance of valuations as a spectacle, we are to begin with thinking of television. Classic televised game-shows like The Price is Right (!rst aired in the United-States on NBC in 1956) or The Dating Game (on ABC in 1965) are landmarks in the global culture of assessment-qua-entertainment. They further constitute, we presume, critical ingredients of the education of hundreds of millions of persons. Antiques Roadshow is an example of a contemporary show where the multifaceted valuation of (preferably vintage) objects is the main attraction.

  • The Antiques Roadshow to Be Sold at Christie’S London on 8 July, 2014
    PRESS RELEASE | LONDON FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Friday, 30 May 2014 VAN DYCK HEAD STUDY RECENTLY REDISCOVERED ON THE ANTIQUES ROADSHOW TO BE SOLD AT CHRISTIE’S LONDON ON 8 JULY, 2014 London – Christie’s is pleased to announce that a striking head study by Sir Anthony van Dyck (1599-1641), which was recently re-discovered on the BBC television progamme The Antiques Roadshow, will be offered at Christie’s Old Master & British Paintings Evening Sale, on Tuesday 8 July (estimate: £300,000-500,000, illustrated above). This work is a preparatory sketch for van Dyck’s full-length group portrait of The Magistrates of Brussels, which was painted in Brussels in 1634-35, when the artist was at the height of his powers. The painting was bought 12 years ago by Father Jamie MacLeod from an antiques shop in Cheshire for just £400. The proceeds of the sale will go towards the acquisition of new church bells for Whaley Hall Ecumenical Retreat House in Derbyshire to commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War. This work will be exhibited for the first time ahead of the sale when it goes on free public view at Christie’s New York on 31 May to 3 June; it will also be on view in London ahead of the sale, on 5 to 8 July. The sketch was largely obscured by later over-paint and, as a result, had been overlooked by van Dyck scholars. Recent cleaning and restoration of the picture has revealed a swiftly executed head study entirely consistent with three other known sketches for the Magistrates of Brussels picture, a work that hung in the Brussels Town Hall until it was destroyed during the French bombardment of the city in 1695.
