ABOUT

This studio class focuses on a variety of alternative exhibition spaces and portable galleries in order to challenge students, over the duration of the course, to design and manage their own portable or alternative gallery spaces. The class will highlight and consider a spectrum of examples of artists as art -distributing media themselves, and will reflect on what happens when artists take matters completely into their own hands, working simultaneously as curators, custodians, administrators and even embodiments of the work themselves. How does a self-proclaimed venue affect how art, artworks and artists are represented? Weekly readings and discussions focused on examples and institutional critiques will assist students in developing their own critical, curatorial, portable or small scale practice.
