    Der vorliegende Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit der Frage, welche Rolle das naturhistorische Diorama gegenwärtig spielen kann bei dem Versuch, das Aussterben der Spezies im Verlauf des aktuell zu diagnostizierenden sechsten großen Massensterbens der Arten zu zeigen und den damit verbundenen Verlust von Biodiversität vor Augen zu führen. Es geht darum zu erkunden, ob sich Dioramen auch gegenwärtig trotz aller kritischen Vorbehalte gegen illusionistische Inszenierungen als geeignete museale Präsentationsform begreifen lassen, insbesondere inwiefern es gelingt, in den Dioramen ausgestorbene oder bedrohte Spezies zu zeigen und deren jeweilige Bedeutung innerhalb der Mensch-Tier-Beziehung zu beleuchten. Wie wirkt das aus dem 19. Jahrhundert ererbte Habitat-Diorama, so wäre zu eruieren, heutzutage in Kombination mit anderen Dispositiven und Diskursen, wenn es in neuere Ausstellungskonzepte eingebettet ist. Dienten die betreffenden Exponate früher als Objekte der wissenschaftlichen Forschung vor allem einer klassifizierenden wissenschaftlichen Systematik, so übernimmt ihre Zurschaustellung schrittweise neue Aufgaben, insbesondere diejenige einer ökokritischen Erinnerungskultur. Das Diorama kann mitunter im Zeichen einer gestörten und verweigerten, einer dem Betrachter letztlich vorenthaltenen Ganzheit stehen, denn es stimuliert eine unterbrochene Interaktion des Rezipienten mit den vorgestellten taxidermischen Exponaten. Die im Diorama zur Schau gestellten Tiere bzw. Spezies haben sich weitgehend der Verfügbarkeit entzogen. Sie sind nicht mehr lebendiger Teil einer Mensch-Tier-Beziehung in einem ökologischen Akteur-Netzwerk oder einer anderen natürlichen Konstellation. Die ausgestellten Welten des Dioramas oszillieren aufgrund der beschriebenen Konstellation zwischen Wirklichkeit und Illusion, zwischen Präsenz und Abwesenheit.

    'Diversity' has become a lively key word in contemporary museum discourse and practice, with numerous policies and initiatives being conducted under its banner. Achieving 'diversity' is seen as something to be celebrated - a good thing in itself. But quite what 'diversity' refers to is itself heterogeneous, with this only rarely explicitly articulated or even recognised. As such, what exists is a shifting field of diverse diversities, which variously interlink and reinforce each other but which may also mask critical discrepancies, disconnects, incompatibilities and even contrary ambitions.

    Can reenactment both as reactivation of images and restaging of exhibitions be considered an alternative way of tackling the critical task to re-present art history (i.e., to present it anew) in the here and now, over and over and over again? The gesture of restoring visibility to something no longer present, reactivating or reembodying it as an object/image in and for the present, is here proposed as a (political) act of restitution and historical recontextualization. Examining the boundaries between past and present, original and copy (as well as originality and copyright), repetition and variation, authenticity and auraticity, presence and absence, canon and appropriation, durée and transience, the paper focuses on remediation, reinterpretation, and reconstruction as creative gestures and cultural promises in contemporary art practice, curatorship, and museology.

  4. Reconciling authenticity and reenactment : an art conservation perspective

    Locating authenticity in artworks that are remade (all or in part) or re-performed over time presents a unique challenge for art conservators, whose activities have traditionally been oriented toward caring for the material aspects of art objects. The paper offers a brief overview of perspectives on authenticity and discusses various theoretical models that have been developed to conceptualize how media, installation, and performance artworks are displayed and cared for over time. These include the score/performance model, the concepts of autographicity and allographicity, the concept of iteration, and authenticity as a practice. The author proposes a theoretical model based on the ritual aspects of presenting artworks, arguing that authenticity, repetition, and community participation can be reconciled within a ritual context.

  5. 'Repetition: Summer display 1983' at Van Abbemuseum : or what institutional curatorial archives can tell us about the museum

    The reactivation of Rudi Fuchs' 1983 exhibition 'Summer Display' took place in 2009 as part of the collection series, 'Play van Abbe part 1: The Game and the Players', and was entitled 'Repetition: Summer Display 1983'. The reconstruction questioned the codes and systems used within (but also consciously and unconsciously outside) the museum and raised several questions, including: what story did the original composers want to tell, and how can this piece of history be understood today? Is the new presentation a separate exhibition entirely or a copy of the 'original' one? What is then the difference between the idea of copy, repetition, and reenactment? And what is the role of the museum's archive in the process of restaging? What can curatorial institutional archives tell us about the museum itself?
