Learning unit contents
This course in the museology of contemporary art is aimed at Master's students in art history and archaeology (all disciplines combined). The aim is to provide a history of the relationship between the museum and contemporary art, from the end of the 19th century to the present day.
Questions relating to expography, scenography and architecture will be addressed, as will issues relating to the figure of the curator.
This course draws on the expertise and research fields of the teacher, as well as on the knowledge and skills of museum professionals. In addition to the lectures given by Julie Bawin, the course includes meetings with personalities active in the museums where contemporary art is exhibited.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
At the end of this course, students will have an in-depth knowledge of the history of contemporary art museums and how they operate on an international scale. They will have grasped the major changes that occurred throughout the 20th century in the ways in which contemporary art was exhibited, curated and acquired.
