Curatorial Practice ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

The purpose of this study is to learn the theoretical and practical issues of curatorial work in the field of contemporary visual arts. Students will focus on the research and development of an individual curatorial project, including didactic materials and a curatorial essay. They will share work with a small group, study exhibitions and ideas of a similar nature, and create their own virtual exhibition in a visual format. While based primarily in the visual arts, students from history, science, and other fields are welcome, as the standards for creating an exhibition in visual form are very related. Prerequisites: At least one art history course (the language of visual art permeates this study and students should be familiar with those terms).
