The Bowes Museum

On Friday we visited the Bowes Museum as part of our Museology and Curatorship course. This trip correlated with our weekly theme of “The Collection”.

The Bowes Museum was created by John and Josephine Bowes after John’s father, the 10th Earl of Strathmore, left his large collection. He was not given the title however due to being his illegitimate son. The collection included a large amount of items passed down by the Earl and some collected or commissioned by John and Josephine. The collection itself is very interesting including paintings, ceramics, furniture and fashion and much more. The collection is displayed within themes such as the cabinet of curiosity.

During our visit we were lucky enough to see the exhibition on Robert Mapplethorpe called The Magic in the Muse. Mapplethorpe was a 1980s photographer from New York and is arguably more famous in death than in life. He photographed celebrities based on a premonition that celebrities would become important parts of our lives; following them in an almost religious way. This sainthood is represented in his photography, for example in Warhol as Christ. Classical Connections to art are represented in his depiction of Arnold Schwarzenegger as the Classical ideal.

A speaker taught us all about the curatorship and the process a museum must go through to obtain a collection for temporary exhibition (the Bowes museum is an atypical case study as it is a museum dedicated to a collection). The exhibition was part of Artist Rooms which is an organisation which features in many museums including the Tate in London. In this they had been able to obtain a room of Robert Mapplethrope’s photography from a collection in New York. The pieces really spoke about Mapplethrope’s including his later life and illness. Many themes are apparent such as, the celebrity as a saint, the muse, the controversial members of society and death. These provoke questions such as if this exhibition is an accurate depiction of Mapplethorpe as it doesn't show any of his controversial pornographic work. With being targeted at 13-25 year olds, Is it acceptable to use pornographic work and exclude a younger age? How much power does a donor have? Should work be removed without an explanation? Do controversial images take away importance from less controversial? Does not showing them give an inaccurate depiction of the artist himself? All things that must be considered when creating a collection in a museum.

Our Visit also included a talk by the makers and creators of the app Artcasting. The App allows you to make new connections with art, associations wider than anything in that room. There is lots of information about the app on the website www.artcastingproject.net. However in my opinion I would liken it to an art version of Time Hop. You select an artwork that reminds you of somewhere and with the app send it to the location and time of which it reminds you. When people with the app are at this location they will be notified and able to view the work you have selected. Then other people can investigate why you would have made this connection, and explore links themselves. It allows you to be making connections between pieces of art, architecture or even your own personal memories.
