ARTH 357 - Exhibition Logistics

3 hours
This course is a complete “how-to” guide for mounting an exhibition. Students will develop a theme or concept throughout the semester and establish the means to execute it. Exploring the issues and processes involved in the development of a comprehensive exhibition, students will consider the educational goals, visitor engagement, intellectual and physical accessibility, design, and evaluation methods of an exhibit. Students will also create a curatorial statement, exhibition checklist, write and prepare labels, write a press release, learn the formula for hanging artwork and properly patching and sanding walls, plan layout by making a model of the gallery with their exhibition in miniature, and host an opening reception. Acting as if they themselves are museum staff, students in this class will stage an actual exhibition in the O’Connor Art Gallery.
