Seminar

The seminar "Exhibitions in Hamburg" at the University of Applied Sciences discusses the format of exhibitions. What distinguishes a good exhibition? And by what criteria can an exhibition be evaluated? Can it be judged based on exhibition-specific values, by simply relating the concepts and production processes of the exhibition makers to the respective displays? Or must external criteria be used to evaluate an exhibition, such as the question of the assumed, excluded, and unarticulated? The seminar cooperates with the Deichtorhallen, visits the exhibition "SURVIVAL IN THE 21st CENTURY," and becomes part of the “School of Survival.”
