English to Spanish: The Role of the Art Museum General field: Art/Literary Detailed field: Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Source text - English Fine art has historically influenced, and continues to influence, (even if the ways in which this influence operates aren't always evident) the daily lives of people of all social classes and educational backgrounds.
Art carries powerful messages and critiques of our collectively experienced reality, reflecting society’s greatest accomplishments or admonishing its most bitter failings. At its bravest, art can challenge society's core assumptions and seek to force self-reflection.
When an individual interprets a work of art, he or she contributes to the creation of new meaning around this art, and a complex and far-reaching communicational process begins. This process will lead to the penetration of art into different levels of discourse that will in turn affect thought far outside of the art world.
Nevertheless, the pertinence of art for all citizens does not mean that a certain professional skill is not required to properly preserve, store, and display art; or that to fully grasp what is trying to be communicated and to participate in the meaning-creation process there isn't a certain intellectual competence in play. Precisely here is where lies the importance of the art museum. It is the role of an art museum to make artistic culture, the interpretation of which might require certain information and analytical tools, available to people of all social groups, so that art becomes physically, and symbolically, accessible.
Translation - Spanish Las bellas artes han históricamente influenciado, y continúan influenciando (aun si la forma como opera esta influencia no es siempre evidente), la cotidianidad de personas de todas clases sociales y trasfondos educacionales.
Las artes vehiculan poderosos mensajes y críticas de nuestra realidad colectiva, reflejando sus más grandes logros así como sus más amargos fracasos. En su expresión más valiente, el arte puede desafiar las asunciones más primordiales de una sociedad y forzar la autorreflexión.
Cuando un individuo interpreta una obra de arte, el o ella contribuye a la creación de nuevos significados en torno a esta, y comienza un complejo proceso comunicacional de enorme alcance. Este proceso llevara a una penetracion del arte en diversos niveles de discurso que a su vez afectaran el pensamiento en esferas a veces muy lejanas cualitativamente al arte mismo.
Sin embargo, la pertinencia del arte para todos los ciudadanos no quiere decir que no se necesita cierta destreza profesional para preservar, almacenar, y desplegar apropiadamente arte; o que para lograr alcanzar plenamente lo que se esta tratando de comunicar, y poder participar en el proceso de creación de significados no haya una cierta competencia intelectual en juego. Es justo alli donde yace la importancia de los museos de arte. Es el rol del museo hacer la cultura artistica, cuya interpretación requiere cierta información y herramientas analiticas, disponible a personas de cualquier grupo social y asegurar que el arte sea fisica, ysimbólicamente, accesible.

Bachelor's degree - Université de Montréal
Experience
Years of experience: 17. Registered at ProZ.com: Aug 2010.
Having grown up in a Spanish-speaking family (with multilingual parents), within an Anglo community in the mountains of Costa Rica, translation has always been a part of my life. Aside from my two native languages, English and Spanish, I've developed perfect fluency in French through prolonged periods of study and residence in France and Quebec. This culminated with a Bachelors degree in Comparative Literature and Philosophy from Université de Montréal in 2009.
I recently sought, due to my love for language, an internship at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City where I am currently doing editing and translation work for the publications department.
I am familiar with the prescriptions of the Chicago Manual of Style but can accommodate to others if need be. Spanish is of course always regulated by the Real Academia Espanola.
