Pilot I focused on the isolation of individuals and families during the COVID-19 isolation and how individuals and families could access art in galleries through educational and artistic approach in communication with the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague. Glass at Home assignment invited participating subjects to explore an online exhibition of Czech studio glass entitled Pleiads of Glass. The research team in communication with the museum set several objectives in search for possibilities and correlations that could bring to the foreground the following issues in terms of social communication in arts: a) maintain creative activity as a tool to overcome isolation and b) create compassion between generations and different members of social groups. The main interest was the psychological transfer in family memories, finding which aspects of these memories remain permanent and how old art and new art is understood and perceived across generations. The pilot also brought up topic of the so called second life in extreme and unexpected human condition. |
Pilot II focused on children at suburban School Donovalská at Prague District 11 and on art educators´ needs under lock-down and the problems of deficiency in cultural education in general. The pilot project also responds to the needs of the Museum of Decorative Arts in Prague to analyse and test the possibilities of an online educational programme for the permanent exhibition of glass art. |
