Over the course of this semester you will be working towards your graduation exhibition, and the structure and content of this class will reflect that:

The main focus will be on maintaining and developing your practice and undertaking self-directed projects, producing work towards your graduating exhibition.

Alongside your individual practice you will be engaged in the collective process of realising a group exhibition, requiring you to think both practically and critically about exhibition making, and situating your practice beyond the studio.

Both in the context of your individual practice and the exhibition you will contribute to and engage with individual and group discussions, and with the site of the studio as a community of practice.

You will write an Artist’s Statement, as well as engaging with and contributing to the collective process of organising and framing an exhibition, including any collateral material and events (poster, brochure, events, talks etc.)

All of these activities will be supported by individual and group discussions with Hannah and your peers related to your practice as well as a series of ‘Propositions’ – presentations/discussions led by Hannah considering the exhibition as a medium, explored through sound, writing, performance, via Nina Simone, Gal Costa, Trisha Donnelly, Alvin Lucier, and Robert Ashley, among others. Hannah will also lead a workshop on writing Artists’ Statements, making a series of propositions for how this form can be thought through experimentally.

We will start our session each Tuesday (with a few exceptions) with a brief Studio Meeting: an opportunity to check in, share pertinent information, inform each other of relevant upcoming events. As the semester evolves, the focus of these meetings will turn towards the organisation of your exhibition.
