CCS Bard, Seminar Room 1
The Exhibition-as-Medium, the Exhibition-as-Form:
Co-productive Exhibition-making and Attentiveness
The group exhibition-form has become the primary site for curatorial experimentation and, as such, represents a relatively new discursive space around artistic practice. Paul O'Neill will look back at some of his exhibitions, and describe how cumulative and expanding exhibition-forms can constitute an investigation into how the curatorial role is made manifest through cohesive and co-operative exhibition-making structures applied during all stages of the exhibition production. This talk will demonstrate how exhibitions create spatial relations between different planes of interaction for the viewer, and how multiple agencies and actors are necessary for an understanding of the curatorial as a constellation of activities that can be can represented the final exhibition-form. Co-productive Exhibition-making and Attentiveness
Dr. Paul O'Neill is a curator, writer and educator based in Bristol. Paul has co-curated more than fifty exhibition projects across the world.
