Curation and Installation Exploration

Abstract

The heart of an artist’s professional practice is the studio process. In the proposal, we explore a variety of textures including sculpture, painting, printmaking, and new media with an emphasis on the impact of our lives using color. The acts of planning, experimentation, and creation aid the progression of professional practices. Without a studio practice, artists are unable to thrive professionally. For installation art, the galleries are an extension of the studio, where we see the practices and processes come to life. We used a model of a curational proposal to visualize how different local artists in the Tallahassee area would engage in a gallery setting. This study explores the effects of bright colors as a unifying element of an exhibition to display a diverse range of artists.
