| The course explores the history of the idea of ‘exhibition’ and the evolution of the theories and practices of exhibition making. It provides an overview of display and presentation of artworks from the 19th century until today by focusing on the changing nature (and the future) of exhibitions. The course aims to reveal perspectives and the ideology of exhibitions and displays through the art history, theory of exhibitions, and curatorial studies. It has an approach to frame the history of exhibitions and art institutions within the wider socio-political and historical processes, such as nation building, colonialism, universalism, decolonization, globalization, climate crisis and the pandemic crisis. | |
