In this course, students will consider exhibition strategies employed in Seattle art spaces. How are artworks contextualized by museum and gallery curators? What kinds of lenses do curators bring to works of classic art? How can artworks be used to tell part of a larger conceptual or historical story? How can principles of experience design impact the viewing experience in galleries and museums? Students will go on at least two field trips to local art spaces to discuss curatorial strategies on site.  Typically offered: Alternate Years.
