MASTER CLASS "From Concept to Display: Exhibition-Making as a Collaborative Practice" with JANA HÄCKEL AND ANNE-FRANÇOISE LESUISSE

April 13 – May 3, 2026 with exhibition Opening: April 24, 2026, Zwarte Zaal KASK

This elective offers a hands-on introduction to exhibition making, guiding students through the process of turning a conceptual idea into a realized project within a two-week timeframe. Following an initial exploration of curatorial theories and approaches in photography, students will develop and produce their own exhibition — from concept to completion — covering all aspects of the production process.

The course also emphasizes scenography and mediation, including writing exhibition texts, creating a publication, and managing communication across social media platforms. Here, photography serves not as the final product but as the point of departure — a medium through which students can explore how two-dimensional images can be translated into spatial experiences.

The curatorial process mirrors this spirit of experimentation and play. Each participating artist will collaborate with a curator from the KASK Curatorial Studies Program, engaging in in-depth dialogue to shape their presentation. These individual projects will then come together in a collective group exhibition that embodies the idea of an exhibition as a "collective body."

The goal is to help students reframe their relationship to their own work, breaking down barriers around production and presentation through a collaborative, empowering learning environment. To further enrich this experience, external guest critics will be invited to review the final exhibition and provide individual feedback.
