700-750 words curatorial statement in which you’ll outline your personal contribution to the group project and also discuss how you narrowed the theme and objects chosen for the exhibition. Though your group’s presentation was a collective effort, in this assignment, you’ll reflect on your personal interpretation of the project and why you really wanted to show some objects versus others. Your curatorial statement will be written in an academic fashion with citations and references to the museum collections and websites.
The reason you picked the type of African artworks for your exhibition? Was it because of the subject/theme the artworks essayed or was it because of the color, material, vibrancy, and scale of the work? What was the appeal in selecting these pieces?
How did you want the works to be shown? Why did you choose a mirror as background or decided to have spotlights on some objects? What exhibiting choices you felt that you cannot do with some of these objects. For instance, why did you want something on a pedestal vs inside a glass vitrine?
How did you divide or group the objects into different exhibition spaces or rooms?
Also, briefly discuss why it was important for you to showcase the exhibition at the location that you chose? And try to ask if the location where the African artworks are to be exhibited do justice to African artworks or will African artworks again been seen as fetish or touristic items?
Feedback i got on the presentation:
How will you create three different galleries thematically. The first focused more on gender, so what’ll be the following gallery and how will you put these two sections in conversation with each other such that it flows seamlessly. Also, maybe not a good idea to mount a chair on a wall, so rethink some of these strategies. I want you to consider this while crafting your assignment.
Finally discuss the impact that you want the exhibition to have on the visitors and how the exhibition can be educational and informative in ways that it debunks prevalent notions of African art as primitive, unaesthetic, and lacking creative qualities?
I will attach the art works I talked about. Mention how we split the work into three rooms, so each student was in charge of curating and talking about a room that consists of five art works.
