Description
Meiselas: Project-based learning. Students prepare a concept, content and model based on photographic documentation, either originated or archival. Encouraging cross discipline thinking, interacting with institutions and colleagues and engagement with the subject is a major focus in the workshop. Students in this manner become acquainted with the notion of ‘collaboration’.
Vroege: Curatorial and Editorial Practice (CEP) introduces students to the current documentary practice of museum curators, exhibition makers, (on-line) magazine and book editors in the field of photography and film with a broad eye on multimedia installation, e-publishing and technology in the evolving digital landscape. Practical knowledge will be gained through interim projects and assignments, focusing on photographic documentation, either originated or archival, narrative structures and presentational forms. A collaborative workshop will encourage cross discipline thinking and engagement with subject. Meetings with photographers, curators, designers and funders will provide insight into diverse aspects of curatorial work in a variety of platforms and media (museums, internet, book production, mobile devices) focusing on the curator’s many but integrated tasks.
