Core Issues in Contemporary Curation

0.5 credits · Graduate

The idea of the museum is inherently modern and brings with it many of the trappings of Western modern thought. This course explores the contemporary issues in curation and the possible ways to de-colonize galleries, museums, aesthetics and other Western systems of art (both physical and ideological). With curation as the focus, the course considers the discursive relationship between artists, theorists and curators, and the politics of contemporary curatorial spaces in a global, digital age.
