EXHIBITION PROPOSALS & CURATORIAL PRESENTATIONS
Curation
Exhibition Design, Curatorial Practice, Spatial Design, Navigation & Wayfinding, Museum Studies
A range of exhibition proposals, curation, and art analyses produced throughout my education. These exhibitions are hypothetical, but have all been extensively researched, written about, and presented in slide decks.
Accompanying transcripts and essays can be provided upon request.

CURATOR'S TOUR | Aga Khan Museum
Upon having visited Aga Khan Museum in Toronto, I gave a hypothetical curator’s tour covering curatorial decisions employed in the display of Aga Khan’s permanent Collections Gallery and themed exhibition; ‘Inside Outside’.
This was a great opportunity to have first hand experience in observing artwork through a curatorial lens. I covered display decisions I observed such as the usage of lighting, colour, angles/placement, etc.

EXHIBITION PROPOSAL | Expansions & Interactions
Photographic exhibition; ‘Expansions & Interactions’ explores the expansions that occur within cities through the development of infrastructure, communities, transit systems, and the interactions these expansions have with the natural environment and humans.
The proposed exhibition takes place in Griffin Art Projects, and all exhibited work is sourced from Vancouver based Bau-Xi Gallery and its affiliate gallery, the Foster/White Gallery, in Seattle, WA. The exhibition is curated to show a progression of expansions, covering interaction with the natural environment, the built environment, and with people.

EXHIBITION PROPOSAL | Ephemeral Stories
‘Ephemeral Stories' is a proposed traveling exhibition to be hosted at the Museum of Vancouver, with the Vancouver Public Library as a secondary location. The exhibition is based on the concept of ‘ephemera’ in the context of art and libraries.
The chosen artworks are examples of the preservation of ephemera, withstanding the effects of time and contributing to the space of convergence between art, literature, and history.

PODCAST TOPIC | Understanding External Factors Affecting Perception of Art
External factors in the context of art perception are factors that exist outside of the artwork, but still have an impact on how the artwork is to be perceived and be given ‘value’.
As there is no comprehensive way of evaluating all of the variables affecting art perception, the following proposal was presented as a podcast topic in which I presented three of the most frequent external factors affecting one's perception of art within the gallery space.

EXHIBITION PROPOSAL | 3:07 A.M.
‘3:07 A.M.’, is an exhibition proposed to be situated in Emily Carr University. Based on a passage in chapter ‘3:07 A.M.’. The themes I hope to convey in the exhibition are centered around different facets of the loss of identity throughout the course of one’s life.
The exhibition is meant to be theoretical in nature, as such, displayed artworks are entirely impractical and the proposal serves as more of a thought exercise.
