Workshop curation: “Show Off: From Project to Exhibition”
Gradually, a photographic project has matured to the point where it now demands publicity, sites of impact, and reception. But when do I release a work into the consideration of an audience? And how? What are the next steps to get your own project in front of a maximum number of viewers? What does it mean to exhibit? How do I translate the two-dimensionality of individual images into an effective and meaningful room installation? And how do I form a complex narrative strategy for an exhibition from the linear genesis of a project? This workshop aims to provide some answers to these questions.
