This week’s focus is on re-evaluating the feasibility of the exhibition in a real urban environment, including the urban spatial structure, transportation system, and public space management mechanism. From the perspective of urban structure, Edinburgh exhibits a distinct spatial hierarchy. Tourist activities are highly concentrated in the central areas, such as Prince Street and the […]

In the initial plan, I focused on the route design. However, after walking through the entire route myself this week, I discovered many areas that needed adjustment. The four-hour exhibition duration made me realize that what I truly needed to establish might not be a “complete route”, but rather a curatorial approach that responds to […]

Refining the Curatorial Project This week, I continued to advance the curatorial project and began to organize the content according to the structural requirements of the newly added SICP proposal. I will integrate the previously scattered ideas into a coherent system. Besides clear concepts, for the practical implementation of the project, I need a complete […]

This week, I first determined the name for the exhibition:Routing Access Meanwhile, I made a rough estimate of the £10,000 exhibition budget. The budget mainly covers seven sections: artist fees, material setup, promotion, AR technology, security, project documentation, and contingency funds.  Artist-related expenses (totaling £6,120, accounting for 61.2%) All three artists were arranged for a […]

After the project presentation last week, I systematically reviewed the tasks that I needed to complete based on the optimization suggestions provided by my teachers and peers. Clearly divide the suggestions into five tasks: 1. Solution for site access rights 2. Design of pedestrian route 3. Risk plan for bus transportation capacity 4. Strengthening the […]

While strolling along the streets of Edinburgh, you might be able to sense those unspoken boundaries – they quietly delineate who belongs here, who can stay, and who feels like an outsider. My curatorial project “The Intangible Boundaries of Edinburgh” presents these hidden dividing lines through a self-guided outdoor “wanderlust exhibition” based on the city’s […]

The core focus of this week is to have the first communication with the mentor regarding the “artwork selection” and “implementation of practical operations” as key issues. Regarding the artist research, I have initially selected three artists. Chris Johanson, in his exhibition at The Modern Institute, presented profound thoughts on the relationship between daily life […]

This week, after a group discussion, I reflected on how the invisible boundaries of public spaces in Edinburgh were formed. These normalizations did not occur suddenly but were hidden within the details of daily space usage. For instance, in core tourist areas such as the Royal Mile and Princes Street, where there are many tourists, […]

This week’s course, through further study of exhibition ethics and the inspiring personal insights of Talbot Rice gallery’s curator, James, on exhibition curation, has led me to have a deeper reflection on my exhibition project. I intend to clarify my third-week exhibition thinking by answering the five questions posed by James in class. Why exhibit? […]

During the Week 2 course, I noticed several key words. Here, I would like to share with you my thoughts on the deep connection of phrases, some issues I discovered, and some inspirations for my own curatorial ideas. The first one is “dematerialization”, which marks a shift in artistic practice. Art is no longer confined […]
