Course content:
The seminar introduces students to curatorial practices and techniques of displaying. Drawing on a wide range of media such as images, films, texts and events, the seminar will provide a short overview of the history of displaying. By this, the seminar aims to foster a deeper understanding of curatorial practices past and present.
In addition to this rather broad and theoretical introduction another focus will lie on cooperative formats. We will examine projects that aim to create new atmospheres and shed light on curatorial strategies of collaborative curating.
++ ADVICE ++
This seminar is very closely aligned to Andrew McNiven's practical part of the module. It is therefore highly recommended to take the whole module and to choose 121182 | 241182 Curatorial Practice as well.

Further information about the exams:
The final exam consists of two parts. The midterm part consists of a curatorial concept, written by groups of two or three participants each (max. 5 pages each group). And for the second part students are to write a critical review of an event curated by other students in class. This paper - written by the same group which wrote the curatorial concept – should consider the theoretical thoughts discussed in class ((max. 5 pages).
