Description:

This course engages with curatorial writing through a spectrum of approaches and practices circulating in contemporary art discourse. Weekly exercises and discussions will survey and develop texts with a critical eye towards the expression of clarity and significance in art writing. For each form under examination (whether wall texts, catalogue essays, exhibition reviews, etc.) emphasis will be placed on the development of tools and techniques for the judgment and criticism of contemporary art, among them - evaluation, self-reflexivity, and experimentation.Online course sections will be delivered mostly asynchronously, with some synchronous components that will be outlined in the course syllabus where applicable. Please use posted meeting times as a rough guide for scheduled meeting times. Other arrangements can be made with faculty for those students who are working from time zones that are not compatible with these scheduled meeting times.
