F305h Critical Theories: Curating Interiors

A combination of lectures and projects — part practical, part theoretical — this curatorial focused hybrid course will use our immediate surroundings to dive into research and develop exhibitions and projects around interior spaces. Co-taught both online and in person (in NYC), we will look at previous projects where curators and artists have challenged how and where art exhibitions are disseminated. We will curate our own exhibits in our immediate spaces and be challenged to think of traditional and non-traditional ways of developing exhibits. We also look at specific exhibitions and imagery of familiar domestic spaces through artists eyes and respond to these images through the curators lens. Final projects will be featured in a special digital exhibit.

This course will be taught both online and in-person. In-person meetings will take place Monday’s (02 NOV; & 16 NOV @ 10a) at Stand4 Gallery and Community Art Center in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Those enrolled in the course who are unable to physically be present (due to location or COVID restrictions) will be able to join in through video conference. These sessions will also be recorded if unavailable during the meeting time. Lectures and prompts will be given on a weekly basis and all discussion will commence in studioELL’s online studio.
