a. working title

AN ART EXHIBITION AS A NARRATIVE STRUCTURE

b.outline

It is a two semester research project that consists of a series of events that carry out a detailed examination into the creative process. The project investigates the roles and strategies involved in the contemporary artistic research and production. Which are the issues related to the creative process of an art work and of an art exhibition? Could be an art exhibition described as narrative structure? It could be possible to define the structural framework that underlies the order and manner in which an art exhibition is presented to a reader, listener, or viewer? Can we talk about post-structuralism on art exhibitions? Assuming that the creativity is a mental process involving the generation of new ideas or concepts, or new associations between existing ideas or concepts, could it be this process the carring idea of an exhibition? Can we think about an art exhibition about process and not only about final products?
