FINAL CURATORIAL PROJECT PDF Mayston H. Wyrdings Final Submission
Due to the outdoor nature of the public engagement events the exhibition will be taking place in the summer. I have selected Saturday 20th of June 2026 – Saturday 4st of July 2026. The timings are arranged to be feasible, with the assumption that the artists and I would be handling additional work alongside […]
Introduction In this blog post I focus on presentational curatorial texts. As I started to consider curatorial texts, I decided to complete an analysis of two institutional guides intended to serve as manuals on how to complete exhibition texts, followed by an analysis of four case studies. The following considerations are based on guides published […]
Theme Title: Over my previous posts, including Week 9 curatorial analysis of Trading Zone and week 6 curatorial analysis of Corpse Flower, I have established that the title is important for directing the viewer to the exhibition goal/purpose.

Funding: Ways of Repair: Loss and Damage is a £10000 grant for artist and curators in the UK. They seek artists who seek to undertake a new […]
Introduction After experimenting with multiple exhibition layout designs, I have developed an order of artists that I believe will allow the audience to experience my intended exhibition narrative. In initial iterations I investigated using temporary walls to hang work. As seen in the image below (Figure 1.), this would help to divide the space into […]
Set Up: I arrived at the In Vitro gallery at 9:00am and helped Layla Knox move her sculptural work out of her car and into the building. I removed all the tables and chairs from the space, keeping only a few in the gallery space to use as a workstation and to have easy access […]
Introduction Having realised how the micro-exhibition Mycorrhizal could be displayed overall, I am now able to make decisions for how the pieces should be displayed individually. Artwork Presentation All printed/2-dimensional pieces are to be mounted on foam board, then attached to a frame. This will ensure that the pieces remain flat when wall-mounted, without wrinkles […]
