| Abstract | The aims of this exploratory study were: to investigate the process of visual art appreciation in a person with dementia, in real time; and to test the feasibility of using video-analysis as a method to explore this process by and with a person who has minimal verbal expression. Gallery personnel guided a woman with severe dementia around an exhibition. Audio-visual recordings of the interactions were analysed. Patterns were identified, and interpreted in the light of conversation analysis theory and research. Evidence was found of turn-taking vocalisations on the part of the research participant. Her participation in a dialogical process was facilitated by the skilled and empathic gallery personnel in ways that the analysis makes clear. We argue that this supports the inference that successful communicative acts took place, contrary to expectations in the light of the participants level of disability. We demonstrate in this paper how a woman with minimal speech due to dementia was enabled to engage with visual art through the facilitation of an expert guide, attuned to her needs. This is a novel example of a person-centred approach, because it takes place outside the context of caring, which is the typical setting for examining person-centred ways of relating to individuals with dementia. © 2018 Cambridge University Press. |
Facilitation of positive social interaction through visual art in dementia: A case study using video-analysis. Meaning-making and art We adopted an art-world denition of art: works with unique attributes which create new understandings and intervene in the process of meaning-making. /SXX Social interaction through visual art in dementia which examined the actual encounter with visual art as compared to subse- quent effects. Within the context of an art gallery and its non-hierarchical setting FAC and FAC are able to use turn-taking in conversation to orient to Suzan as a socially competent being by treating her silences and vocalisations as fully formed responses to their talk. In terms of Gibsons theory of affordances the art works afford the participants an opportunity for meaning-making.
