Two PhD Fellowships in Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture

The Oslo School of Architecture and Design calls for applications to two full-time Ph.D. fellowships for a three year period starting September 2011. The successful applicants will join the research project Place and Displacement: Exhibiting Architecture. The positions are based at the Institute of Form, Theory and History (FTH), and requires full-time attendance, including participation in the research education program (Ph.D. program).

Place and Displacement investigates various practices of displaying architecture, both in historical and contemporary contexts. The project is hosted by the Oslo Center for Critical Architectural Studies (OCCAS) and involves a wide international network. It is funded by the Norwegian Research Council’s FRIHUM-program for research in the humanities. Project leader is Professor Thordis Arrhenius from FTH. The project includes two senior researchers at AHO, Professor Thordis Arrhenius and Professor Mari Lending, and four guest researches from external institutions. Two closely interlinked strands organise the project. One considers preservation of full-scale architecture in relation to curatorial practices, the other focuses on architectural collections in museum and exhibition displays at any scale. Together they study processes of displacement and exhibition – of full-scale buildings, spoils, models, miniatures and engravings – and their economies of validation and display.

More information about the project can be found at Official Website.

Place and Displacement invites proposals for two Ph.D. projects in thematic areas concerning the exhibition and collection of architecture. Particular priority will be given to projects that consider full-scale practices of preservation and display, and to projects that investigate the historiography of the architectural exhibition. Relevant themes for study include:

the status of architecture when it is shifted from an object of use into one of display
contemporary cultural expressions involving the ‘use’ of the past, such as re-enactment, re-staging and their relating technologies of display
the preservation of architecture and its mediation through exhibitions and display.
changing display techniques, scales, formats, mediums and venues when architecture is collected and exhibited
the history and historiography of the architectural museum
the history and historiography of the architectural exhibitions from ‘hyperhistorized’ to forgotten and overlooked cases
the reception of the architectural exhibition in historical and contemporary examples

Requirements:
Applicants must hold a Master’s Degree or equivalent in a field of relevance to the project, preferably in architecture, architectural history and theory, art history, heritage studies or museum studies. Priority will be given to applicants with a Master’s Degree in architecture.
