Course detail

The Artist in Gallery and Museum Practice 2

FaVU-1UGMP2Acad. year: 2024/2025

This course, which is loosely related to the course The Artist in Gallery and Museum Practice 1, will focus on commercial and private gallery entities and their relationship to artists. Students will learn about the different types of private galleries, their focus, purpose and reasons for being established. We will see how these galleries establish and build a relationship with artists, what role they play in their overall concept and what criteria they are guided by. We will pay special attention to the grant policy and how galleries build relationships with artists through it. We will also learn about the changing codes of ethics, which will be given special attention. We will also focus on the international and international scene, especially the most important private contemporary art museums in London, Paris and Venice. The course will include visits to selected domestic institutions, lectures and discussions with experts.
