The course, Arts 424, Exhibition Practicum: Installation and Interpretation of 17th-19th c. Art from the AMAM at the CMA, was designed to help students learn about the history and display of European art, as well as interpretive strategies and technologies, and was built around the AMAM's loan of 20 works of art to the CMA during the AMAM's building renovation project (for more on the exhibition, AMAM Paintings, Sculptures and Miniatures at the Cleveland Museum of Art, click here).
The twelve students in the course learned not only about the AMAM's artworks as recontextualized in the CMA's galleries, but also had the opportunity to meet with CMA staff in the fields of interpretation, editing, design, art movement, registration, packing, mountmaking and conservation. They wrote labels and texts for the works, and produced accompanying podcasts, with the assistance of AMAM Curator of Education Jason Trimmer, which we invite you to listen to:
