Exhibiting Culture A

Exhibiting Culture A is an immersive, gallery-based subject, underpinned by La Trobe University's exclusive partnership with nationally and internationally renowned institutions. The subject is designed to deepen learning across a range of arts disciplines and creative practices, such as art history, social history, archaeology, philosophy, law, textual studies, education and politics, via the experience of a unique, curated exhibition.

While the subject content will vary in relation to the specific exhibition in which it is embedded, it will also address the following broad questions:

• what type of exhibition is this
• what holds this collection of cultural objects together
• is it organised around a theme, a period, an artist, a significant individual, a movement, or something else
• how does the exhibition direct inquiry and engagement
• what types of knowledge does it produce; by what criteria can an exhibition be evaluated
• how successful is this exhibition as a whole?

Assessment

• Exhibition essay (30%)
• In-depth investigation (30%)
• Creative response (40%).

Intended learning outcomes

• Apply a broad range of analytical, theoretical positions that relate to the exhibition and curatorial intent.
• Interpret and evaluate artworks in relation to a in-depth research question.
• Critically research a topic using relevant data sources.
• Communicate visually and in writing your ideas and the relevant ideas of other relating to historical, curatorial and theoretical material explored in the research and the exhibition.
• Evaluate your own creative arts or discipline-based practice in relationship to a critical contextualised position.

Exhibiting Culture B

Exhibiting culture B extends the engagement in and with the curatorial space, in conjunction with La Trobe University's exclusive partnerships with nationally and internationally renowned institutions as a way to transform learning. Students engage in the experience of a unique, curated exhibition that is contextualised with a range of arts disciplines and creative practices, such as art history, social history, archaeology, philosophy, law, textual studies, education and politics, allows for critical and creative responses.

Attending to the experience of the exhibition is a way to critically question how it is curated; what types of knowledge does it produce; by what criteria can an exhibition be evaluated, and how successful is this exhibition as a whole? This subject consolidates the immersive gallery-based experience with:

• relevant contemporary and historic lectures
• learning involvements and activities that afford a deepening engagement in inquiry
• critical questioning
• responding in ways that evaluate the experience, a theme, a period, an artist, a significant individual, a movement, or something else.
