Grade 11/12 - Day 71: "How Curators Curate, Step Two: Space and Date"

















"Get floor plans and start mapping out the layout of the exhibition. You need to get to the nuts and bolts of your exhibition when curating an art show. What goes where? Some curators build 3D models of the gallery space and artworks, while others use software like sketchup.

Work with the gallery or museum staff to create a positive and productive environment for all involved. Along with short deadlines go short tempers.


Try and make the experience as stress-free as possible by having everything planned out beforehand.

Set the opening and closing dates of the art exhibition. Mark your calendar with deadlines for each facet of the project. It can be helpful to work backwards from the opening date and schedule the necessary steps needed to put on the exhibition."
