Interdisciplinary Creative Laboratories for “Sustainable” Heritage Actualization

Actualization of natural and cultural heritage is considered in an integrated approach: preservation/archiving and presentation through museum institutions (archives), including protected areas, and “transfer” of tangible objects and intangible values into real life to include them in the modern meaningful context. While the preservation and presentation of heritage has an extensive tradition and practice in museology, the methods and approaches of incorporating heritage into the contemporary context are constantly changing and being updated to reflect the current situation. The appeal to contemporary art as a method of heritage interpretation is based on its potential to use various methods, techniques and approaches from different disciplines: artistic research, interdisciplinary approach, etc. The specificity of protected areas in Russia as complex formations that combine multiple practices (scientific, educational, recreational, etc.) opens up the possibility of using a variety of formats for data interpretation, such as creative laboratories that include contemporary artistic research, interdisciplinary and social co-operation, and presentation of research results to a wide audience. As an example of such a laboratory, the study considers international art research projects implemented on the territory of the Divnogorye Museum-Reserve.
