Course Aims

This course explores innovative ways of presenting artworks that break free from traditional museum structures and contribute to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion. Iconic exhibitions successfully implementing such practices will be studied to provide a theoretical and practical context for emerging presentational forms and social practices. The course will delve deeper into the concept of curatorial distributed models, which provide equal opportunities to people across borders, ethnicity, ideology, and gender identification. This approach opens up new avenues for artists to showcase their work and connect with a broader audience. The course will explore the various distributed curation models used across virtual and physical sites. Shared and interactive selection and evaluative models, voting, and crowdsourcing will be examined, which provide a democratic approach to curating exhibitions. Additionally, the course will examine the artist's role as a curator and the challenges and opportunities that come with this role.
