AMCV 2655 - Challenges of Contemporary Curation: Contemporary Art to Relational Heritages

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Pending Approval. Whether you are working with 2,000 year old artefacts or avant garde performance art or both, curation is a contemporary art of creation, mediation and relation. Over the 20th century, the act of curation has expanded beyond galleries and museums to include an array of agencies in the creative, cultural, educational and industrial sectors and a diverse range of artistic and media forms. Although you can now "curate" music play lists and clothing catalog collections, this course will explore curation as more than aesthetic discernment and stylistic choice, but as the reflective and reflexive creation and mediation of meaningful relations, spaces and experiences. Enrollment limited to 18.
