Brief Description

The aim of this module is to create a negotiated project in small groups – and further, research and organise the exhibition of this group project at a relevant local venue. You will discuss the critical and contextual reasoning behind your individual and group work, and reflect on the process and experience of organising, curating and promoting a group exhibition.

Indicative Syllabus

The group photo-project in this module will continue and extend the student’s personal visual and conceptual process. Students will analyse and reflect upon technical, critical and contextual development of their project. Through group presentations, discussion and critical/contextual reasoning each student will reflect on the process of situating his/her individual project into a collective group show. The promotion and organisation of a group exhibition will enable students to work with peers to critically engage with issues of collaborative professional practice. Technical workshops following the seminars will facilitate and implement additional skills.
