From
the list below, select one of the 2013 exhibitions for the focus of your
research and presentation, discussed in class on Monday, 10.14. To share your choice with the group, leave the name
of the exhibition as a comment on the related post on the Painting V blog (unless
you are the first to post, be sure to check the comments to make sure your pick
is still available).
You should begin to research these exhibitions on-line, assuming
the role of critic (from afar). Prepare a visual/oral presentation about the exhibition,
which should include a critical analysis of the works on view and, to the extent
that you can get a sense of this through online research, the installation. To
accompany the oral/visual presentation, prepare a one-two page summary of your
research and analysis. This project is meant to expose you to some of this year’s
major exhibitions, engage you in research and provide a platform for critical
analysis of contemporary practice.

Oh man i'm interested in all of these!
ReplyDeleteMy first choice is negotiable, but I think i'd like to research Christopher Wool -- which is an exhibition i plan to travel to over Christmas Break.
I could also write a real critique on Turrell since I saw it in person, but if anyone else wants that, i totally understand. I have an exhibition pamphlet if anyone wants to look at it.
actually, gosh, im interested in all of them. I'll wait to see what you guys pick. ;)
All, Dee will present on El Anatsui at the Brooklyn Museum. (See her most recent post.)
