Rationale

In this course students will be introduced to a variety of Artist Run Initiatives (ARI’s) which are traditionally gallery spaces organised and curated by artists. This course will give students knowledge of the historical and current contemporary ARI’s that have/or are occurring regionally, nationally and internationally. This course will look at artists who have organised ARI’s spaces, the benefits of such spaces within culture and how these spaces assist in fostering artistic development and outcomes historically and within contemporary art.
This course will demonstrate the various curatorial practices which have taken place in the 20th and early 21st century within ARI gallery spaces and how these have influenced the role the ARI gallery serves in culture. This course builds on foundational ideas introduced in Gallery Studies 1 and this course will form ideas that will be further developed in Gallery Studies courses 3 and 4 in 3rd year.

Synopsis

In Gallery Studies 2 students will explore the various Artist Run Initiatives (ARIs) and which will give them knowledge of the historical and current contemporary ARI's that have/or are occurring regionally, nationally and internationally. In this second of four gallery studies courses, students will research current models of ARI's and the history of their development. Through this research, students will be asked to compare and contrast the different curatorial models that artists use in relation to the gallery spaces they operate. On completion of the course students will be able to define what an ARI is and acquire knowledge and skills about the various curatorial associated with such gallery spaces.
Students will be encouraged to visit relevant ARI spaces, attend presentations by professionals as a way of understanding the various approaches to gallery management within artist-run initiatives.
