During this spring we will concentrate on various strategies, by means of which contemporary art institutions, and creative individuals reach out, broaden their audiences, and activate their potential. Together we will explore Prague galleries and art institutions, meet artists and curators and discuss their approaches to art, audience(s) and the society at large. The choice of the sites of interest will reflect current offer of the local art scene. Course Requirements: Exhibition journal Students should keep an exhibition journal throughout the semester with short (max. 1800 characters with spaces) analysis of visited exhibitions. The journal should most importantly show your opinions on strategies used by artists and curators to appeal to their audience (i.e. you). You can asses the visual / intellectual accessibility of the works in question and reflect on the artworks / concepts that you felt touched by in any way or on the other hand felt alienated by and why. The journal is due on May 22 (23:59 pm)). Writing Assignment - Final essay Students are asked to write a paper on topic related to issues addressed during the gallery visits. It should most importantly show your ability to contextualize the works, exhibitions, curatorial concepts related to the topic of the course i.e. reaching out / establishing new audiences / thinking outside of the white cube. The paper must have at least 9000 characters, bibliography, and footnotes (preferably in Chicago style: https://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html ) Students should feel free to consult their topic and submit the first draft of their paper beforehand.
