Exhibition Making

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).
