Description

The emphasis in this course t is on a behind the scenes exposition of art. It looks critically at the processes by which visual art is made available to viewing publics. These processes take into account a range of concerns (practical, strategic, ideological) that vary widely between institutions. Students are introduced to various professional art practices, through the processes of curating, managing, catalogue writing and production, exhibition display and handling of works. The infrastructure of the art industry , including the administration of State Museums and other art organisations, such as funding bodies, are presented as a subject for practical purposes, as well as critical consideration.
