The Curatorial

Catalog description

Is everyone a curator? The etymological meaning of to curate – to take care of – has become, with the ever-expanding meaning of art and exhibition making, both central to and contested by practitioners who carefully conceptualize, comment, organize, and show art. In this course, we ask fundamental questions of what curation does and should do. We will: 1. look at different theories of curation, illustrated by exemplary exhibitions across the world, 2. learn about curation in its multifaceted practicalities, 3. critically assess new trends in curation and artistic practices at large, 4. have opportunity to curate art exhibitions and/or cultural events on campus. 001780
