  • More about Star oder Loser?: Zum Making-of von Objektkarrieren in einem ethnologischen Museum


Stars werden nicht geboren, sondern gemacht. Dies gilt nicht nur für Sport oder Unterhaltung, sondern auch für Museumsobjekte. Die Kunstwelt zeigt vielfältige Beispiele dafür, während Sammlungsstücke in ethnologischen Museen oft unbeachtet im Depot leben. Diese Forschungsarbeit untersucht, wie Objekte ein Star oder Loser werden, nach ihrem "Making-of" und den Dynamiken in ihrer Wahrnehmung, Deutung und Wertschätzung.

Stars are not born, they are made. This applies not only to the sports and entertainment industries, but also to museum objects. The art world provides many examples of this.

But it also happens with collections in ethnological museums: some become famous, achieve a certain level of fame or even become international icons, while others spend their "museum life" largely unnoticed in the depot. How this comes about and what factors determine whether an object becomes a star or a loser is the subject of this research. Using well-known and unknown African and Oceanic collections from the Museum of Five Continents in Munich, this research investigates their "making-of" and the dynamics in their perception, interpretation and valuation.
