Curation research

Critical elements for successful curation are how space is used, the contextuality of the exhibition, how it is mediated to the audience. In order to covey the fear of being a member of the marginalised community, and to manifest and celebrate the sense of oneness, I chose to incorporate various design ideas. By taking influence from Juanan Requena's warm exhibitions, I put together a collage, a photo Journal, moving image and surreal digital manipulations. Requena's curatorial designs are unique, and it effortlessly mediates the subject to its audience. A table and a warm light to set the journal on was used to create a sense of domesticality. Warm light evokes emotions such as fear, caution, intensity and happiness. Thus, the selection of the light works well with the intention. As I have a limited space to work with, I will be extending the design aspects during the project space one exhibition.
