Take Back The Museum

CRN: 15012
Credits: 3
This course examines exhibitions that highlight the work of artists and designers who have been historically silenced or omitted from dominant narratives. The course will be structured around the analysis of examples of pioneering exhibitions mounted in the past decade, or to be mounted in the near future. Case studies will include Willi Smith: Street Couture, Posing Modernity, The Black Model from Manet and Matisse to Today, and Implicit Tensions: Mapplethorpe Now, among others. Through these case studies, the course will explore how these curatorial projects have countered institutional erasures. Geared towards students invested in the intersection of museum studies and curatorial justice, the course examines how exhibitions are critical to address issues of visibility and invisibility. The course will also directly engage with practitioners via guest speakers and site visits throughout the semester.
