Modules

Exhibition and Encounter (30 Credits) - Core
A predominantly rational, ordered approach to exhibition has been central to the conception of the modern museum and gallery. This module introduces new ways to analyse and engage with the idea of display through an emphasis on the temporary exhibition as a more open and less didactic space of encounter, association and experimentation. This module argues that the museum's potential as a transformative media rests in its ongoing ability to re-imagine the exhibition through experimentation with new ways of orchestrating emotional and embodied encounters.
