Yo-Chang Art Museum 2F

A Day in the Life of the Administrator of Art Museum, NTUA is a performing art created to showcase the Yo-Chang Art Museum over a long period of time. However, the performer of this performing art is not an artist but rather the administrator of the museum. More precisely speaking, the administrator is transformed into an artist to enable her work and labor to become a displayable art.

In general, administrators work in offices rather than in exhibition venues. The goals of this performing art are thus to identify the job responsibilities of an administrator, art administration-related labor, and the sparks that can be created between her work and artists.

A Day in the Life of the Administrator of Art Museum, NTUA is divided into two sections, which are live performances and video recordings. For the exhibition, an office scene is created, in which the daily job responsibilities of the Yo-Chang Art Museum administrator (i.e., answering phones, attending meetings, eating meals, resting, and completing work using a computer) during office hours are authentically portrayed. The administrator also converses and shares her office life with the audience. As a result, interacting with the audience becomes a part of her new job responsibilities.

The administrator is also interviewed on-site to answer how she views her work and life, where the interview is recorded on paper and video.
