Conoscenze e abilità da conseguire

Students acquire the main tools necessary in the field of exhibition design and integrate the project experience with historical, theoretical and critical knowledge. In particular, students acquire the skills to develop a conceptual and metaphorical project, both to translate the theoretical issues discussed during the courses and to develop a personal vision on the principles, criteria and objectives to be achieved during the various research phases. They also acquire the methodological basis for the graphic and technical representation of the exhibition project

Form as Thought

What can be an Art Exhibition?

Design Studio – Spring Semester 2024

The studio will consider the relationship between form and content and, beyond that, between space and art, through the case study of conceiving the design of a series of monographic art exhibitions. Each of the exhibitions will be held in the whole Le Corbusier’s Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau in Bologna. Students will work in groups; each group will design a specific exhibition for a specific artist.

The first part of the studio will be a pretext to study the work of each of those artists to understand its meaning and development on the long run. This work will take the form of an atlas that will be presented by each group and discussed during the studio. Then, the work will focus on the selection of the precise artworks that will be the main core of the exhibition, along with the development of a coherent discourse from a curatorial point of view as to why these specific pieces are brought together. Then, the design of the exhibition will be created, in order to reinforce the meaning and clarity of the curatorial choices made at the previous stage. The design process will take place with the use of two ways of representation. On the one hand, a series of collages will be done, that will illustrate the display of the artwork in the Pavillon, and on the other, the draw of the plans that correspond to the chosen display. The students will have courses on the informatic tools to use between the weekly studio critics. For the final critic, the students will show a plan of their exhibition and a series of collages of the exhibition in the space of Pavillon de l’Esprit Nouveau, based of photographs that will be given to them, allowing to understand immediately the result in terms of space.

In the end, an exhibition of the projects will take place in the cloister of Santa Cristina. Quality of the work will be evaluated upon the link between the curatorial decisions and the spatial organization that is able to improve them and allow them to be better understood by the audience, while making the better use of the specificity of the place.
