Course Description
Summary
This course approaches the college’s ceramics studios as a case study in how to archive a collection and curate an exhibition. Students will research, document and catalog pottery, ceramics and other objects that have aggregated in the studios over a period of years. Drawing on this research, they will select objects for display in a new window space inside the studios, creating a public-facing exhibition reflecting the history and future of ceramics at ¿ÐýÃŹÙÍø. Students will be introduced to skill- and theory-based practices through activities including database use, photographing and writing about objects, and curatorial strategies for storage, selection and display.
