NARRATOLOGICAL ALGORITHM IN EXHIBITION NARRATIVE ANALYSIS SCHEMES

The existence of numerous interpretations of the term “narrative”, including in the context of exhibition activities, restricts the possibilities of understanding and comparing narrative aspects of various visual art exhibitions. One possible approach to the analysis of exhibition narratives is the use of narratological tools, originally developed for the study of literary works. The article examines a visual art exhibition as a conventional narrative text, forms an idea of narratological categories adapted to the exhibition context (such as minimal history, events and characters), and, taking into account the specifics of the form-content integrity of the exhibition, offers a general definition of the exhibition narrative. In conclusion, the narrative aspects of real exhibitions of classical and contemporary art are analyzed based on the algorithm obtained. Expanding the possibilities for analyzing exhibition narratives beyond narratological approaches will be an area for further research.
