Class Details
This course aims to develop the wide range of skills needed to realize an art exhibition in a botanical garden (here specifically an exhibition at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens in Sarasota in winter/spring 2019) including 1) research on the artist (TBD) and the concept, the focal works of art, auxiliary objects that do not require climate control (e.g. photographs and other works on paper), social history and other methodological frameworks, including gender, sexuality, class, and race; 2) writing requests e.g., loans, rights; and 3) preparations for the press release, wall texts, wall labels, audio guide, and programming for the exhibition. Students may have the opportunity to participate in a WSP in situ the following year on the final stages of production.
