Introduction to the course Content

The Autumn 2023 version of Exhibition studies will focus on the centrality and the role that exhibitions have assumed in the contemporary art world.

A.If we understand exhibition-making as a collaborative practice, who are the main actors involved? What are it's main processes?

  1. How can we read or write about an exhibition? What are the tools that can allow a project to become more accessible and coherent.

This term we will focus on:

  1. the historic meaning of biennials and its current possible formats.
    Forms of the surrounding future, the 12th edition of the Göteborg International Biennial for Contemporary Art will be a study case.
  2. Artist-curated exhibitions

This segment of the course will reflect on how the role of the curator has been expanded and questioned by artists. Close reading to exhibitions curated by artists.
