KUH3203 - Exhibition in Context

About

Lessons are not given in the academic year 2024/2025

Course content

The course introduces the student to different exhibition models and their institutional background. In which ways is a subject matter presented in visual form and how can we understand the museum as a background for the exhibition and further, how can we understand exhibitions as expressions of, say, a city or a nation's self-understanding? This regards exhibitions in museums of art history, cultural history, and art galleries. The course thus touches on exhibition ideas, aesthetics and how exhibitions convey content, and it presents theoretical perspectives for analysis.
