Learning from real life projects and tutor presentations, the course is a practical and theoretical overview of how ideas are developed for exhibition or public presentation. It considers the wide-ranging contexts of curating today from the traditional display of artworks and museum collections to installations and temporary art in public spaces. It’s about the many different roles of the curator, in the context of real spaces, with a look at curating the digital and virtual spaces.

Course programme

The course will include a brief history of curating, and projects, which have been curated in and outside gallery or museum spaces, for example, in other public spaces or with a community – sometimes called site-specific art projects. Artists and community co- curating are growing trends, and we will look at some of these projects. We will discuss how other ideas (e.g. Social, health, conflict) can be curated through contemporary art. We will look at the interpretation of artwork, and how contemporary art can be communicated to a wide audience.
