Item Beyond the white cube(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2019) Stout Bashioum, Jonathan Braden; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Josh DeWeeseMy thesis explores the role of pottery in the gallery versus in the outside world. My methods included manipulation of the gallery space, renovation of a bus into a mobile gallery and experimentation with larger wood fired vessels. This resulted in a thesis exhibition that was generally well received and resulted in some helpful insights into having a studio art career in Montana.Item Considerations for producing media for science museum exhibits : a volcano video case study(Montana State University - Bozeman, College of Arts & Architecture, 2013) Sable, Julia Elizabeth; Chairperson, Graduate Committee: Dennis AigWhile science museums continue to expand their use of videos in exhibits, they are also seeking to add engaging content to their websites in the hope of reaching broader audiences. As a cost-effective way to do both, I propose developing a video for a museum website that can be easily adapted for use in an exhibit. The priorities and ideologies of science museums differ radically from those of science and nature television networks. This paper explores the needs of museums, identifying key contrasts with television, and shows how those needs are reflected in the content, form, and style of the two-part science video Living in Pele's Paradise. Through the story of the spectacular 1959-60 eruption of Kīlauea Volcano, the video shows how research and monitoring contribute to helping communities prepare for volcanic hazards. I highlight the characteristics that make the video appropriate for a science museum through comparisons with recent volcano documentaries for television. I also discuss the changes needed to adapt the web video for a museum exhibit.
