Abstract
AbstractIn this final chapter, Boyd considers the strengths and limitations of the methods used to evaluate the ‘Finding Home’ exhibition, including what can or can’t be measured about the visitor experience. This is further elaborated by pointing out that part of what visitors experience in response to an art exhibition is ineffable, and in making this point, Boyd returns to the concept of affective knowledge translation introduced in Chap. 1. Boyd goes on to emphasise the importance of establishing rapport in working with multiple actors during the production of an art exhibition, as well as raising some caveats about research exhibitions as a ‘technique’ of knowledge translation. Boyd suggests how universities can better support art-based knowledge translation efforts and concludes with some thoughts about transdisciplinarity.
