Content

The course Professional Practices considers the theoretical issues raised by the field of art in relation to the practical one of art-museum management and curatorship. Some of the issues addressed include: the status of the art expert, authenticity, artistic value, art and social context, private and public art collecting, and the social and artistic function of the art museum. Field trips are organised with on-site discussions about current exhibitions and presentations. Students develop basic skills in oral, written and physical presentation as well as approaches to contextual research.
The student does a short, self-organized internship to gain experience in a professional environment.
