Özet:

 

Every form of communication, even every culture, is depending on the interaction between
 expectation and perception. Every perception is related to anticipations and therefore to
 comparisons. What we understand or see is not simply a given, but is the product of past
 experiences and future expectations. When understanding fails, expectations become prejudices.
 A big stumbling-block in interpreting artworks in a museum of contemporary art is having
 confidence in the concept of multiple interpretations. Because contemporary art is characterised
 as ‘open-ended’, understanding does not always occur and viewers are confused or even
 disappointed.
 In this study we investigate the process of understanding contemporary art and focus especially on
 the formulation of prejudices during a museum visit. We underline that the prejudiced nature of
 understanding does not have to lead to negative or empty experiences but creates openness to
 future experiences. Prejudices send people back to re-inspect the initial experience. It is important
 to bring museum visitors to understand their own constructed meanings by reinvestigating their
 initial interpretation through inquiring. Museum educators should develop tools which allow
 visitors to position themselves and make them think from various contexts. This kind of education
 leads to enriched (re)interpretation and experiences.
