ACADEMIC RESEARCH
The Nomadic Phenomenon of Alternative Museum Making:
(Re)imagining what a museum is and can be is a research
project that questions whether museums can exist outside
the institutions.
This research forms the theoretical framework to generate
a platform of a ‘temporary’ art space, with the emphasis on
the relationship between the space, the object and the view-
ers and how these entities affect and activate one another.
This three years research project endavors to answer the fol-
lowing questions, from its architectural, sociological and
economic perspective: How can we cut across the traditional
boundaries of a permanent and a temporary museum?; How
can we critically question the power structures inherent in alter-
native museum making?; How to work and define such space
and how is this interpret its surrounding?;
