摘要

過往被大眾認為靜穆的三大公立美術館，臺北市立美術館、國立臺灣美術館、高雄市立美術館，今日在館內兒童藝術推廣相關場域總是充滿笑聲、歡樂自在的氛圍，這樣的氣象似乎讓美術館的門更為敞開，除了擁抱兒童觀眾，更是吸引許多曾經因自認美術領域專業不足而害怕參觀美術館的族群，甚至部分專業人士也對於這些空間特別喜愛。研究者認為隨著教育理念以及新自由主義環境等影響，博物館近年來的展覽策畫思潮從「物」為主轉向以「人」為主的關注焦點，逐漸破除過往藝術作品與觀眾之間咫尺天涯的距離，消弭藝術作品過度崇高的地位，這當中尤其兒童藝術推廣單位所策畫的教育性展覽，為落實藝術教育推廣，而更需正視展覽本身與目標觀眾的緊密程度。

本研究試圖從臺北市立美術館2014年新成立的「兒童藝術教育中心」，探究其教育性策展的內容與教育推廣實踐，藉由文獻回顧、參與觀察、深度訪談以及觀眾研究等研究方法進行資料蒐集與分析。透過文獻蒐集與深度訪談，研究者首先回顧臺北市立美術館教育推廣的實踐歷程與該中心的萌芽契機與其沿革；再透過實際觀察以及與北美館館員的深度訪談，研究者彙整該中心教育展覽的生成過程及其策展之三大信念；此外，針對該中心展覽《小・大》所實施的觀眾研究，研究者發現當該中心運用「教育」作為美術館對外溝通媒介時，確實能開啟觀眾與藝術作品之間更多對話的可能，並從觀眾回應得知該中心吸引觀眾的關鍵元素，以及其策劃之良窳。而本研究亦從研究實踐過程中的發現，提出觀眾研究重要性之相關建議，期望作為未來研究之探究與參考。

The three public Art museums in Taiwan, Taipei Fine Arts Museum (a.k.a. TFAM), National Taiwan Museum of Fine Arts and Kaohsiung Museum of Arts were widely regarded as quiet and serene spaces in the past. Yet, these museums are full of laughter and joy in their children’s art education centers nowadays. With the carefree atmosphere, the doors of the museums are much more open. In addition to embracing the young audience, people with or without fewer professional arts backgrounds are attracted by children’s art education centers. Moreover, some art professionals are particularly fond of these spaces. I believe that with the influences of the developing the educational philosophy and the neoliberal environment, the core value of the curatorial departments in museums in recent years has been transferred from the ‘‘object’’ to the ‘‘audience’’. This change has bridged the gap between the artworks and the audience. In order to implement well the promotion of arts, we have to take good care of the closeness between the exhibition and the audience. And, this is especially true and important toward the exhibitions which are aimed at art education of children.

The aim of this study is to explore the content and the educational practice of the educational curation of the ‘‘Children’s Art Education Center’’, established in TFAM in 2014. The mainly research methods of this study includes literature review, participant observation, in-depth interview and visitor studies. Through the literature reviews, I have looked into the motivation of the establishment and the evolution of the center. Moreover, I try to sort out the status changes of ‘‘exhibition’’ and ‘‘education’’ in the museum operation these years. Then through the in-depth interviews with the educators of TFAM, I realized the process of the center's educational exhibition and its three major curatorial beliefs. I also carried out a visitor study on the exhibition ‘‘Small or Big’’ and found that the center could use "education" as an external communication medium to open more dialogues between the audience and the works of art. From the audience's response, I learned about the attractive elements of the center, as well as the pros and cons of its curation. The study also proposes some suggestions on the importance of audience research from the discovery of the research practice, which is expected to be the reference for future research.
