080051 SE Seminar: The Exhibition: A Spatialization of Knowledge, Politics, and Ideology (2016S)
Continuous assessment of course work
Labels
This seminar will focus on the 'rise of the exhibition' as one of the primary forms of the 20th and 21st centuries and consider the strategies through which exhibitions construct and communicate knowledge. We will look at the variety of display methods within the language of exhibitions, diversity of subjects (historical, scientific, contemporary, research, and temporary pop-ups), and the relation of exhibitions to specific institutional agendas. We will also explore the relation between exhibitions and the construction of publics in diverse geopolitical, socio-historical and economic models and consider the parallel rise of the curator and shifting role of art criticism.

Aims, contents and method of the course
Assessment and permitted materials
Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
The aims of the course are to 1) situate aesthetic practices and narratives of modernity, modernism, and contemporary art in relation to the histories and theories surrounding the rise of the exhibition as a dominant frame/form ; 2) engage with the issues raised by exhibition practices along multidisciplinary pathways, including urban geography, sociology, cultural studies, feminist criticism and gender studies, postcolonial theories, and political philosophy; 3) introduce students to methods, models, and theories for the critical analysis of modern and contemporary art.
Examination topics
This is a conceptually and theoretically driven seminar that approaches the study of contemporary art as an expanded and entwined constellation of representational artifacts, discursive objects, and material practices. Within this multidisciplinary constellation, we will be attentive to the ways in which artistic production relates and responds to forces, techniques, and effects of power and is implicated in the constitution of new subjectivities.
Specific pedagogical methods include: Close textual and visual analysis; class discussions, oral and written components, field trips.
