Curating Art Exhibition FVA4006
This is a practice-based curating course at DACI. For this course, students will act as art curators and organise an exhibition, either physically or virtually.
Course Description
This course examines key themes concerning the changing role of the curator and the diversity of exhibition venues such as museums, art spaces and site-specific contexts in the contemporary world. Case studies are used to illustrate the roles of curator, artist, and educator in the projects of exhibition design, interpretation, evaluation, and audience development. Exhibition visits and guest lectures are arranged to engage art and museum practitioners in dialogue with students.
The course provides students who have already completed one art history course an opportunity to produce a real exhibition. Each group of students will design an exhibition plan, conduct research on selected objects, and acquire practical curatorial skills, while producing interpretative and publicity materials for an exhibition in a physical venue or a digital platform.
