Section Information for Spring 2022

In this class students will participate in every aspect of curating a small exhibition and/or installing art around campus. Using original objects from the George Mason University’s Art Collection, students will choose a theme, write a proposal, create a checklist and select objects, design layout/placement of objects, conduct archival research, write wall text, design and write a short exhibition catalogue or exhibition website, create marketing materials, plan educational programs, help install and deinstall works, and give tours. This course will differ from the typical seminar in that it will explore the practical side of curatorial work in addition to scholarly research.
