Course Details

This course will focus on conventions of publication and exhibition making in order to examine the extent in which these conventions become part of the body of an artwork. Specifically we will be looking into various strategies of displaying, archiving, and disseminating art, and how these have historically been catalyzed by various artists. The course is centered in Joseph Grigely’s essay ‘Exhibition Prosthetics’, but will expand to encounter numerous institutional and counter-institutional practices. We will interface with these concepts through reading, film screenings, listening, journaling, making ‘texts’, and producing a group exhibition.
