This module will provide a basis for reflection on various approaches to creating frameworks for showing art. We will examine different methods that can be used in the development of exhibition concepts and what this means for the audience's encounter with art. The module involves lectures and visits to exhibitions at selected art venues in the region, including institutions, artist-run venues and commercial galleries. We will meet curators and directors and take part in their reflections on their work and role in the art field. Historical examples of exhibitions that have influenced the art field in various ways will be presented and discussed. You will present a selected exhibition project that stands out in terms of concept, materiality, location, or interdisciplinary approach. Together, we will analyse and learn from these examples, drawing on them in the planning of your own envisioned exhibition project. The module will provide insight into art exhibitions as a creative idea and knowledge about exhibition discourses, and make this knowledge relevant to your art practice. It will further provide insight into the practical structure of planning and realising exhibitions and applications to Open Calls for exhibitions.

This is a project-based module with a focus on the exhibition as form, exploring topics such as exhibition histories and contexts, presentation tools and processes, production and mediation, and the relationship between individual artworks and exhibition frameworks.

PRO modules are designed to enrich your artist development (as explored in the ART modules) through activating skills, connecting communities of practice, and investigating disciplinary territories. PRO modules allow you to focus on a specific project critically connected to your own practice within a context established by the module leader(s).
