Field Research Project | Exhibition Proposal

Field Research Project | Exhibition Proposal

Go to two exhibition openings on the first Saturday in Kingston.
November 7th | 5-7 pm. If you cannot make it then, you will need to make an appointment with the directors of the spaces to meet with them separately.

The two spaces to research are:

KMOCA | Kingston Museum of Contemporary Art
on 103 Abeel Street in the Rondout.
http://www.kmoca.org/about.html

Surprenant | a new gallery opening on 324 Wall street in Uptown Kingston

During each exhibition opening speak to at least three people you do not know. Collect press material from the space. Type up your notes on what you find and be prepared to share them in class.

Collaborate with another student in the class to develop an exhibition proposal for a group show in one of the galleries. You may choose to curate your own work into the show you propose as well, but it must be a group show with at least two artists.

Your exhibition proposal should be submitted in the form of a .pdf and include the following details.
