This week’s lecture by Marcus delves into the relationship between curation and Time-Based Media. Marcus refers to today’s ‘Post-Medium Condition’, where the boundaries of media are blurring and moving images and sound have permeated all corners of the exhibition space. However, he did not just discuss the contemporary impact of these works, but emphasised their […]
This week I’ve been browsing a lot of art school graduates‘ work as well as emerging artists’ work to find artworks that fit with my theme for my initial large-scale selection. Olivia (Livvy) Azzopardi https://sdcashow2023.lboro.ac.uk/student/olivia-livvy-azzopardi/ Olivia Azzopardi is a queer deaf British artist based in the East- Midlands and Kent.

Fewer artworks on the theme of life plasticity: In the course of my research, I realised that the number of artworks on the theme of ‘life’s plasticity’ was much lower than expected.

We went on a field trip to Glasgow on Wednesday, and one of the things that stood out for me was Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature. Derek Jarman’s Modern Nature provoked a number of thought-provoking curatorial aspects, particularly on the levels of intergenerational dialogue, spatial use, media fusion, and Queer Ecological Politics, which demonstrated the curator’s […]
On the 27th of February, I visited a themed exhibition at the Botanical Gardens organised by cap students, and I got a lot out of it. The keywords ‘plants, organisms, life, plasticity’ coincide to a certain extent with the theme of the exhibition I want to curate. Firstly, regarding the choice of curatorial […]
To Haonan: Starting from the second week’s post, you have explored the theme of ‘death’ from various angles. For example, in Week 2, you analysed the 2011 Guangdong Museum of Art exhibition ‘Infinitely Close to the Horizon’ and the 2006 Damien Hirst exhibition ‘The Death of God’ in Mexico, demonstrating an understanding of the theme […]
Ivana Bašić’s work has always evoked a sense of singularity and natural identification, exploring the vulnerability of the body and human matter in a way that is deeply in line with my curatorial themes. 2024 saw the first institutional exhibition of Ivana Bašić’s work at the Schinkel Pavillon in Berlin, entitled Metempsychosis: The Passion […]
This time spent in class group discussions has given me new ideas for improving my curation. I was reminded of the AR experience I had during the Christmas holidays when I visited the famous Casa Batlló in Barcelona, Spain, which offers an Augmented Reality (AR) tour, an immersive, interactive tour that allows visitors to […]
