ABSTRACT
Experiencing materiality, as it appears in this chapter, relates to participants in an art project being encouraged to physically handle and be in some way responsible for the changing material state of a set of art objects. Each such item discussed here was a re-made object based upon an original museum artefact, created by the author. The following chapter examines how changes to the physicality of these art objects may have contributed to unusual interpretations of both them and the original artefacts that had inspired them. This work was subsequently developed into an unusual audio guide: an artwork in itself, this was intended for both art and museum audiences and informed by the materiality-influenced interpretations of a group of selected experts from various fields.
