Abstract Details

2019, Master of Arts (MA), Ohio University, Art History (Fine Arts).
This thesis discusses the role of the academic art museum as a space for contemporary curatorial and exhibition practices and the potential for these on campus entities to be leaders in the evolution of museum practices. Positioned at the intersection of the academic, museum, and art worlds, academic art museums have the capacity to be more experimental and innovative as instruments for evolving strategies and modes of learning within institutions of higher learning. This paper identifies characteristics of contemporary curatorial and exhibition practices that intersect with current trends in university ideology and pedagogy. Case studies of recent exhibitions are examined, providing models of engagement that may be emulated and expanded upon in the constant effort by art museums and academic institutions to provide a positive impact on society and maintain relevance in the twenty-first century.
