Exhibition & Installation Proposal
8 weeks · 0 milestones
Exhibition or degree show proposal for presenting the student's body of work in a spatial context. Triad: concept/ideation artifact (curatorial rationale and concept statement: what the exhibition communicates as a whole beyond the individual works, what spatial and experiential quality the show is intended to produce for the viewer), technical execution artifact (spatial installation design: floor plan at scale showing work placement, elevations where relevant, lighting brief, technical requirements for each work — dimensions, power, mounting, AV), documentation/critique artifact (exhibition proposal document: contextual statement, intended audience rationale, production timeline with realistic dates, and installation specifications for each work). Studio critique: curator, gallery director, or fine art degree show coordinator reviews the spatial and curatorial decisions — the proposal must demonstrate real spatial thinking, not a simple list of works in a room. Proof: curatorial statement, floor plan and elevations, installation specifications, full proposal document, critique notes. Verifier: curator, gallery coordinator, or fine art degree show panel member.

Develop an exhibition concept for a specific real or hypothetical venue. Write an exhibition rationale (400–600 words) covering: the work to be exhibited, the spatial and experiential intention (how you want viewers to experience the work), and any installation-specific requirements. Produce a floor plan sketch showing how work would be positioned.
Proof required
Submit: (1) exhibition rationale (400–600 words) as a PDF, (2) floor plan sketch (hand-drawn or digital, annotated with work positions).
What gets checked
- Rationale specifies a real or explicitly described hypothetical venue — not 'a white cube gallery'
- Spatial intention goes beyond 'works hung on the walls' — viewing sequence, lighting, spatial relationships between works are addressed
- Floor plan positions specific named works and includes scale indication
