week 2

I found the exercise with concepts very useful, 'play-like' tasks can be quite important)
we looked through a lot of things important during the exhibition, from concept till finissage, and now I am interested how it works in reality and, what is more important, what kind of problems can emerge in organizing and how we can handle them)

week 1

the introduction lesson brought up some interesting questions, eg what are the functions of an art historian and a curator, and if they are so similar, why do we separate them?)
personally I think that a curator is a 'promoted' art historian, curator has the base (art historian knowledge and skills) plus he has valuable experience and skills in managing/organising)
we discussed the general things (eg components of exhibitions) we already know, but I am more interested in details and practical approach
