Expanded Interiors Re-Staged - from Herculaneum and Pompeii to the North-East of England

Expanded Interiors是一个跨学科研究项目，将特定地点的当代美术实践与教科文组织世界遗产赫库兰尼姆和庞贝的古罗马壁画和建筑遗迹进行独特的对话。它开发了三个大型艺术装置，通过当代艺术实践探索了两座罗马房屋的装饰。这项研究揭示了罗马壁画家使用的构图、透视和语境方法的新解释，并为当代美术创作开发了新的方法，如构建丰富图像的技术。该项目突出了：1.考古遗址内的当代艺术装置可能对来访的观众产生的积极影响；2.数字人文与美术实践之间进行富有成效的对话的巨大潜力；3.关于罗马壁画画家使用和操纵多种视觉语言的当代主题。扩展内部重演(EI重演)是一个后续项目，建立在扩展内部(EI)的基础上，旨在通过公开展览、研讨会活动以及实物/在线学习和文档材料，创造性地接触新的英国观众/用户群体，增强原始项目的覆盖范围和影响。多媒体画廊展览将与哈顿画廊和领先的数字媒体公司Animmersion合作，发展新的艺术和观众对遗产和当代艺术的参与。我们将：(1)以新的艺术、物理和数字形式重新展示研究项目的创意成果。这将结合互动和虚拟视觉语言(包括虚拟现实环境和新的艺术家委托)。这种多方面的方法将使我们能够重新应用研究成果，同时保持它们与原始网站的链接。(2)通过从项目一开始就让一群年轻人(L--墨水小组，哈顿)密切参与，并支持他们为展览编写一本青年指南，以创新的方式利用教育研究所的研究成果和新的创造性成果，特别针对年轻人(项目合作伙伴确定的难以接触的主要受众，以及被教育促进机构跨学科、以实践为导向的研究特别吸引的群体)。(3)为特定受众开发创造性的教育包/信息媒体，将EI研究的遗产和影响扩展到展览期间之外，同时还提供可转移到其他博物馆和遗产地背景的格式。这些是：a.一个实验性的虚拟现实环境(包括罗马宫殿里的原始展览)；b.年轻人指南；c.为二年级关键学生准备的教育资源包，它将把EI的研究与英格兰北部/东部的当地遗产/教育背景(如哈德良长城)联系起来，同时探索罗马文化和当代视觉文化之间的联系；d.为普通公众提供展览的解释性指南。(4)通过知识共享和联网讲习班，让艺术家和遗产专业人员密切和切实地参与新的解释、探索和观众参与遗产遗址的新模式，从而为文化遗产和文化遗产重演项目培养更广泛的遗产。我们预计，EI-Re-Stage的各种传播和知识传播活动将对所有目标受众/用户群体产生积极的、变革性的影响(例如，驾驭多种视觉语言的能力)，其参与战略将为遗产/博物馆背景提供一个持久的案例研究，其教育材料和信息媒体得到广泛使用。

Expanded Interiors was an interdisciplinary research project that brought site-specific contemporary fine art practice into a unique dialogue with ancient Roman wall paintings and architectural remains at the UNESCO World Heritage Sites of Herculaneum and Pompeii. It developed three large-scale artistic installations that explored through Contemporary art practice the decorations of two Roman houses. The research revealed new interpretations of compositional, perspectival and contextual methodologies used by Roman wall painters, and developed fresh methods for contemporary fine-art making such as techniques to structure an abundance of images. The project highlighted: 1. The positive impact contemporary art installations within archaeological sites can have on visiting audiences; 2. The strong potential for fruitful dialogues between digital humanities and fine art practice; 3. The project's contemporary topicality with regard to Roman wall painters' use and manipulation of multiple visual languages. Expanded Interiors Re-Staged (EI Re-Staged) is a follow-on project that builds on Expanded Interiors (EI) and aims to enhance the reach and impact of the original project by creatively engaging with new UK-based audiences/user groups through public exhibition, workshop activity, and physical/online learning and documentation material. A multimedia gallery exhibition will develop new artistic and audience engagement with heritage and contemporary art, this delivered in partnership with the Hatton Gallery, and leading digital media company Animmersion. We will: (1) Re-present the creative outputs from the research project in new artistic physical and digital formats.These will combine interactive and virtual visual languages (including a VR environment and new artist commission). This multi-faceted approach will allow us to apply the research findings afresh, while maintaining their link to the original sites. (2) Innovatively address young people in particular (a key hard-to-reach audience identified by a project partner, and a group specifically attracted by EI's interdisciplinary, practice-led research) with EI's research findings and new creative outputs, by closely involving a group of them (L-INK group, Hatton) from the project's outset, and by supporting them in developing a Young People's Guide for the exhibition. (3) Develop inventive educational packs/information media for specific audiences that extend the legacy and impact of the EI research beyond the exhibition duration, while also providing formats transferable to other museums' and heritage sites' contexts. These are: A. An experimental VR environment (including the original exhibitions in the Roman houses); B. The Young People's Guide; C. An educational resource pack for Key Stage 2 pupils which will connect the research from EI with the local heritage / educational context in the North / East of England (e.g. Hadrian's Wall), while exploring the connections between Roman and contemporary visual culture; D. An interpretive guide to the exhibition for the general public. (4) Foster a wider legacy for the EI and EI Re-Staged projects through closely and practically involving artists and heritage professionals in new modes of interpretation, exploration and audience engagement with heritage sites through a knowledge-sharing and networking workshop. We anticipate that EI Re-Staged's varied dissemination and knowledge transfer activities will have positive, transformative effects (e.g. competence in navigating multiple visual languages) on all target audiences / user groups, and that its engagement strategy will provide a lasting case study for heritage / museums contexts, with its educational packs and information media widely used.
