ART 427 Museum Practice
The course is "hybrid" so we can "pivot" to online if needed
ART 427 is offered spring 2022, 9 am - 12:30 pm on Wednesdays.
The course includes several field trips to local galleries and museums. Off campus trips will be scheduled to allow time to return to campus before the end of the class so that classes immediately following are not impacted.
Using active learning techniques the class presents opportunities to learn skills that can be immediately applied to entry level gallery work or museum internships.
Some prerequisites may be waived. Contact instructor at abbotts@umbc.edu with any questions or to request a prerequisite waiver.
Course Description
This project-based course is designed to help students gain insight and expertise in key components of museum and gallery work (e.g. curating, exhibition design, collection management, and public programming). Students learn and train under the guidance of an instructor experienced and knowledgeable about the art museum world. By the end of the semester students will have gained an invaluable preparatory training for career opportunities with art museums, art galleries and like institutions involved with the public display of historical and cultural material.
Please note, the course is listed as a hybrid this spring, so that if needed we can seamlessly pivot to an online course. For the most part, however, classes will take place at UMBC or off campus institutions in the area.
Celebrating selected books, images, pamphlets, and broadsides is the exhibition
Rhapsodies, Rhymes, and Runes: The Poetry of Special Collections, now on display in the
Special Collections Reading Room of the Albin O. Kuhn Library & Gallery. The exhibition will continue through November 26, 2014 (extended!).
Insight into the various eras in which the works were produced is evident by the selections. For example, Allen Ginsberg’s book Howl is an icon of the Beat Generation, and continues to be a touchstone of the counterculture today. The book is paired with a portrait photograph of Ginsberg by photographer Elsa Dorfman, noted for her portraits of Beat Generation authors. An 1884 edition of a book devoted to The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe demonstrates how revered Poe was even in 1884 when the book was published. Famous French illustrator Gustave Doré did the images on pages opposite the pages of the poem. Other items in the exhibition are broadsides by Dick Higgins, photographs by Lotte Jacobi, books by Paul Lawrence Dunbar, poems by Gertrude Stein, and many others.
Rhapsodies, Rhymes, and Runes: The Poetry of Special Collections was co-curated by Robin Martin, Public History Graduate Candidate and Special Collections Assistant and Jazmin Smith, Art History and Museum Studies major.
The
Special Collections Department is located at the far end of the Library Gallery, and is open Monday through Friday 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. On Thursdays, it is open also from 4:00 to 8:00 pm. For more information call (410)-455-2353 or send an email to
speccoll@umbc.edu.
