Courses

Title Department Catalog Term

Description

This course will focus on theoretical and practical aspects of exhibition design, including construction aesthetics, community engagement, and the politics of display. Topics covered range from lighting and human perception to voice and authority in museum labels. These issues will be explored via individual site visits to established and alternative exhibit spaces, where students will critique current installations, as permitted by Covid restrictions. Guest speakers from major museums will supplement class lectures and discussions. We will adopt a critical stance in exploring the relationship between people, objects, and space in this environment.
