Description
"An utterance in space (the text to be written)"
a structural look onto its creation and realization
The purpose of the course is to support the realization of selectd artworks of students of Transmedia Art as self-empowerd entities within a show, in the tension field of a collective context of a group exhibition
The focus is on deepening and communicating one’s own positioning:
What text is written about the work, how is it discussed?
Which inputs are tracked overall, right up to the portfolio?
What is the timetable for implementation and construction?
*
In the literature onto exhibition making of the last decades the structure of exhibitions is viewed concerning its language-like structure: as an interweaving interaction of written, spoken, spatial, pictorial, moving and other elements, that (only) generate meaning together.
Exhibitions thereby are considered as "structure, display and content, dialog, network and contradiction", also facing the process of "translation as agency of difference". Exhibitions can be considered as "cultural practices of `showing´, and understood, read and interpreted as "practices of making visible", as gestures of `pointing to´, as an act of revealing a direction. "Utterances", gestures of pointing, that are explicite and implicite, performed both unconsciously and very consciously, pronounced in a `pronouncement of the display´, constituting the setting of the exhibition.
