Description

[Juniors and Seniors only] This course explores professional practice in various career paths and focuses on the process of exhibition making as a collaborative practice and ways of thinking about curating, not only from an artist perspective, but through engagement with processes that involve all parties relevant to specific presentations. Exhibitions are the central function of museums and art galleries and the dominant format to showcase artworks by individuals or groups of artists, particular genres, thematic areas, or collections. Spatial decision making, handling and placement of objects, and public program development, catalog, mailing lists and approaching galleries will be considered in a practical learning environment. Additionally, students are exposed to a range of resources and opportunities for artists and professionals with an in-depth understanding of written and organizational skills necessary to support their work in varied areas of the professional fields.
