While discussions about artworks are usually focused on everyday production and research, exhibitions tend to be considered separately from the artwork. However, exhibitions are the medium with which people first come into contact, prior to the viewing of the artwork. When an exhibition is viewed as a medium, the entire exhibition experience, not just the artwork, becomes the object of design/investigation. The aim of this lecture series is to deepen our understanding of design theory concerning the exhibition as a medium. The entire course will consist of three major parts. The first is pragmatic theory, which reviews in detail the sequence of events from the creation of the work to its exhibition, learning diverse processes from various detailed case studies. The second is abstract theory, which provides insights into thinking in abstract terms, such as: the prototype creation prior to the creation of the work, the work as a prototype, and what kind of technology the media, including the exhibition, is composed of in the first place. Through listening to two guest lectures wherein the combination of these two perspectives, the concrete and the abstract, students will acquire the attitude necessary to observe, contemplate, and create from multiple perspectives.
