Inhalte:
The seminar introduces students to curatorial practices and techniques of displaying and will provide an overview of the theory and history of displaying and exhibiting. The course aims to foster a deeper understanding of curatorial practices past and present. On the basis of theoretical texts and expert talks, we will reflect on the role of the curator; on the basis of exhibition visits, we will examine how they succeed in creating intellectually inspiring and provoking atmospheres.
In addition to this rather broad and theoretical introduction, another focus will be on art and strucutral racism in particular.
The seminar also includes, a weekend excursion to Munich (29 September-1 October)
Please note:
The seminar is closely aligned to the practice-based part of the module. It is therefore highly recommended for ZU students to take the whole module and to choose 121182 | 241182 Curatorial Practice as well. In this part of the module, the participants will curate a program accompanying the “Whiteface” exhibition. For international students, it is also possible to take only the theoretical course.
Lernziele:
Students become familiar with the various approaches, theories, and techniques of staging and curating.
Weitere Informationen zu den Prüfungsleistungen:
All students who also participate in the practical part are to write a small booklet accompanying a self-curated event, which should also take into account the theoretical thoughts discussed in class (max. 20 pages of text). This booklet is written and designed as a team project in groups of 4.
For incoming students it is also possible to write a critical exhibition review (5 standard pages).
Furthermore, all students are required to present a short presentation of an exhibition or curator. This presentation is ungraded but compulsory.
