Learning outcomes
|
The course focuses on one particular medium of communication between art and society: the exhibition, as a relative new cultural production in the history of art. The course aims to provide the basics of exhibition studies for those who intend to curate contemporary art exhibitions, with strong emphasis on the aspect of communication with the viewer/audience. The course briefly summarizes the history, structure and functions of the museum and museum exhibitions (as knowledge center, research laboratory, representation of power, agent of diverse identities, entertainment center, trend setter initiative, think-tank, etc.). This overview is followed by the description and analysis of the museum exhibition as an interpretive medium. In Exhibition Studies II the focus is on white cube, exhibition display, discursivity, new museology, and curatorial as keywords of exhibition curating. The form of the course is blended learning. Students are supported by on-line readings, dictionary entries, references and texts provided by the tutor at the beginning of semester. The tutor defines the assignments for the end of the semester. Students have the full semester to read and evaluate the compulsory readings and prepare for the final, individual, on-line presentations.
