Title: Collaboration and Curation in a museum space: Notes on Praxis

Concept: The course will focus on understanding the curation of special/ temporary exhibitions that are an outcome of the collaboration of institutes in a museum space.  

Objective: Selecting, sequencing, and presenting the art collection in form of an exhibition has the potential to offer new meanings to art and can often extend its existing dimensions. Encompassing the many stages, the art of curation is a process that begins from the established discourses enshrined in academics and builds up into a three-dimensional display of art in the gallery space, where the art, artist, curator and spectator meet. Between learning and feeling, understanding and experiencing, and reading and seeing, art exhibitions play a rather transcendental role. The course will take the participants on the journey of curation with details on the protocols and processes that are involved in the art of curation in a museum space. It will be befitting for the students of visual art, design, art history, history, archaeology, museology and budding curators and art lovers who are curious to explore the many ways to engage with art.

Content: This course on curation is an outcome of the recent collaboration and exhibition between the National Museum, India and Museum Kolding, Denmark. The course is designed to familiarise the students with the basics of curation that comprises of- research, writing, presentation, installation and display from a curatorial perspective. The course will also include seminal aspects of practice in the classroom, like- necessary readings and due discussions, data creation and management, the process of selection and rejection of artworks, curatorial aesthetics and ethics etc., and will be conducted in form of interactive sessions.
