Topics in Curatorial Projects: The Practice of Curating – the Museum of Vancouver edition
When it comes to books, social media, meal, clothes, or houses, we no longer seem to edit, select, plan or design. The term of choice is “to curate.” But in an era where it seems that anything and everything can be curated, what does it mean to be a practicing curator? Add to the mix that COVID-19 limited access to galleries and museums; art fairs became a distant memory; and public art events and festivals where postponed to some distant future. So, what does the practice of curating post-pandemic look like? The creativity of the field expanded in many ways and we will have a unique opportunity this term to work directly with the Museum of Vancouver as they develop an exhibition that revisits the work of designer Tobias Wong
This seminar looks at the pragmatic and expressive approaches within the ever-expanding curatorial field both online and in our current socially distant reality. Students will have an opportunity to develop conceptual proposals into practical plans for exhibitions, installations, and/or public projects that can challenge our challenging times.
