This course addresses the conceptual and practical aspects of curating in visual, performing, and/or interdisciplinary arts through the development and installation of a public curatorial project at one or more locations in Boston. Students will examine current curatorial discourse through readings, guest speakers/site visits, conversations, critical writing, research, and presentations. Students will discuss and enact ideas about concept development, venue selection and context, artist research and selection, exhibition design and layout, season or program development, audience engagement, timelines and budgets, and effective partnerships and collaborations.
