CART28002 - Exhibition and Exegesis

General Information

Unit Synopsis

In this unit you will prepare your artwork for display and present it to the public in the form of a professionally realised exhibition. To do this, you will use and adapt established exhibition practices as they might apply to a range of exhibition contexts, whilst recognising the effects that various exhibition venues may have on the reading of your artwork. You will also complete a written exegetical statement which will situate your practice within context specific theory to critically analyse the relationship between your artwork sand contemporary culture.

Assessment Tasks

Assessment Task Weighting
1. Presentation 20%
2. Project (applied) 40%
3. Reflective Practice Assignment 40%

This is a graded unit: your overall grade will be calculated from the marks or grades for each assessment task, based on the relative weightings shown in the table above. You must obtain an overall mark for the unit of at least 50%, or an overall grade of ‘pass’ in order to pass the unit. If any ‘pass/fail’ tasks are shown in the table above they must also be completed successfully (‘pass’ grade). You must also meet any minimum mark requirements specified for a particular assessment task, as detailed in the ‘assessment task’ section (note that in some instances, the minimum mark for a task may be greater than 50%).
