Course description

Curating is one of the major vocational outcomes for the study of Art History. This course introduces students to both the theoretical principles and practical approaches to art curatorship in the twenty-first century. It provides an overview of histories and contemporary debates in the field of exhibition-making, both in Australia and internationally. Online lectures, tutorials, guest lectures, practical workshops, seminars and field visits develop knowledge and skills, from thinking and writing critically about exhibitions, to writing exhibition proposals. Practical aspects to the course take students through key processes in exhibition development from inception to display, including: researching artworks for exhibition and acquisition, devising curatorial concepts, creating exhibition rationales and floor plans and writing exhibition texts.
