This course offers postgraduate coursework students the opportunity to work on the subject of a curatorial project undertaken by a member of staff, or a research associate in the Centre for Art History and Art Theory (CAHAT). Students will have the opportunity to reflect upon a research-led exhibition or public program that is in development, allowing them access to real-world examples of exhibition development and collaboration between academics and the GLAM sector. The content of the course will differ each year, subject to the projects in development by CAHAT staff and associates.
Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, students will have the knowledge and skills to:
- question how research is presented to the public
- critically evaluate the practical and conceptual premises of the exhibition
- demonstrate an understanding of exhibition logistics including transport, care, and installation of works of art
- identify the audience for exhibitions and public programs related to the project
