Abstract
This workshop uses a readers theatre approach to share the collective experience of three graduate students and their teacher exploring and creating three different exhibitions at The John and Mable Museum of Art. Workshop attendees will be introduced to Love and Villeneuve’s (2023) “Dimensions of Curation” model. The Dimensions of Curation Competing Values Exhibition Model is built on a framework that recognizes multiple viewpoints on curation. It provides a way for museums to identify past curatorial practices, reflect intentionally on future approaches, and make changes, if desired, using the model as a road map. Workshop attendees will read a readers theatre script based on student-teacher conversations that detail the students’ individual research experiences studying the model and using the model to describe their curatorial approach and goals while creating their respective exhibitions. While each student used a different dimension of the model, they all applied a visitor-centered approach using the model as a road map By having attendees actively participate and read the script, they will be better able to understand the students’ respective experiences, challenges, and lessons learned while using the Dimensions of Curation model.
