Course description
Objectives and Content
This is a project-based module in which group work leads to the creation of an exhibition or series of
exhibitions, investigating the shift from studio production to public presentation. The rhythm of an
exhibition is a central focus; how does an exhibition take shape and evolve over time? Practical
exhibition-making considerations are explored, such as spatial planning, installing artworks, mediation,
and communication.
PRO modules are designed to enrich your artist development (as explored in the ART modules) through
activating skills, connecting communities of practice, and investigating disciplinary territories. PRO
modules allow you to focus on a specific project critically connected to your own practice within a
context established by the module leader(s).
