FA 229 - The Artist & The Exhibition:Gallery Prac

Institution:

Arcadia University

Subject:

Fine Arts

Description:

Distinct from the creation of works of art, the logistics of presenting art, from proper construction techniques, to the safe conveyance and handling of work, and final presentation in an exhibition space, present their own inherit challenges and opportunities for creative problem solving. In this class students experience these challenges first hand by mounting actual shows. Utilizing the two recently inaugurated student exhibition spaces, the Landman Library Student Gallery, and the Turret Project Space in Murphy Hall, students receive instruction in a workshop format on the construction, preparation, transportation, and exhibition of various two-dimensional and three-dimensional artworks. Additionally students investigate, through class trips, readings, and discussions, the transformation of the meaning and theoretical constructs that have surrounded the exhibition space throughout history to understand how these concepts can affect the meaning of work within a gallery , and the choices made in how it is displayed.
