This course will explore both practical and theoretical aspects of museum and gallery work. We will read about and discuss the nature and evolution of museums, galleries, and non-profit contemporary spaces as well as their role in our culture. We will also be involved with planning exhibitions on campus and take a number of field trips to museums, studios, and contemporary art spaces. Scheduled "lab" times are used for on-site visits to museums, galleries, and other venues; the lab time will be used only 6-7 times per semester, and exact dates will be announced on the syllabus. Transportation will be provided. Lab Fee. Permission of Instructor.
