盖蒂基金会启动「新诠释」全球计划：首轮270万美元资助11个博物馆展示诠释项目
位于加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县洛杉矶市的盖蒂基金会（Getty Foundation）10月28日宣布启动名为「新诠释」（New Interpretations）的全球计划，帮助各国博物馆改进向观众阐释藏品与展览的方式；首轮试点资助总额270万美元，共有11个项目入选。
入选机构包括沃克艺术中心、皇后区博物馆、韩国Leeum美术馆与香港M+合作的项目、曼彻斯特大学曼彻斯特博物馆、伊莎贝拉·斯图尔特·加德纳博物馆、加州大学洛杉矶分校福勒博物馆、第一美国人博物馆、丹佛艺术博物馆、巴尔的摩艺术博物馆、澳大利亚活动影像中心（ACMI），以及艺术博物馆诠释协会。
各项目方向各异：沃克艺术中心着力西班牙语、苗语与索马里语等多语言服务；ACMI在负责人塞布·陈（Seb Chan）带领下探索字幕与无障碍技术；第一美国人博物馆结合参观者调查与《印第安人迁移法》颁布二百周年展览，呈现原住民知识；丹佛艺术博物馆则组织参观者座谈，在超级智能（SI）时代探讨展示中的「人性」。
盖蒂基金会高级项目官员希瑟·麦克唐纳（Heather E. MacDonald）表示，好的展示诠释能决定一次参观是走马观花还是真正有所得。该计划今后将按年度开放，面向全球博物馆与视觉艺术类非营利组织。盖蒂自1986年以来持续支持博物馆诠释工作。
Getty Foundation Launches 'New Interpretations' Global Initiative: $2.7 Million Pilot Round Backs 11 Museum Interpretation Projects
The Getty Foundation, based in Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, announced on October 28 the launch of New Interpretations, a global initiative to advance how museums interpret their collections and exhibitions for visitors. A $2.7 million pilot round will fund 11 projects.
The grantees are the Walker Art Center; the Queens Museum; a collaboration between the Leeum Museum of Art and M+; Manchester Museum at the University of Manchester; the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum; the Fowler Museum at UCLA; the First Americans Museum; the Denver Art Museum; the Baltimore Museum of Art; the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI); and the Association for Art Museum Interpretation.
The projects take different directions: the Walker is expanding language access in Spanish, Hmong and Somali; ACMI, under chief executive Seb Chan, is exploring captioning and accessibility technology; the First Americans Museum pairs visitor research with Indigenous knowledge ahead of an exhibition marking the bicentennial of the Indian Removal Act; and the Denver Art Museum is convening visitor panels on 'humanness' in an age of super intelligence (SI).
Heather E. MacDonald, the Getty Foundation's senior program officer, said strong interpretation can determine whether a museum visit is quickly forgotten or genuinely rewarding. The grants will be offered annually and are open to museums and visual-arts nonprofits worldwide. Getty has supported museum interpretation since 1986.
