Institution:

Maine College of Art

Subject:

Description:

This course provides students with advanced skills in curatorial practice. As part of the course, each student will curate an exhibition from beginning to end, including selecting the theme or focus, choosing artists and work to exemplify the theme, finding a venue, and installing the show. Students will develop their curatorial writing style through creating wall texts and labels, press releases, and catalogue essays for their exhibitions. Readings, lectures, discussion, field trips, and visiting artists will offer a diverse range of viewpoints and approaches to curatorial practice methodologies and will support the student exhibition projects. As the culmination of their exhibition, students will give a curatorial lecture on the exhibition. With the new curricular changes, Advanced Curatorial Practice will replace the previously proposed course Senior Seminar. The course will provide the Curatorial Practice learning experience that is necessary to all Art History and Curatorial Practice majors. This course will be required of all AHCP Majors, but will also be open to students who have completed Introduction to Curatorial Practice. 3 credits/week
