| Inhalte | This module introduces students to the history of curating, on the one hand, to the social tasks of and the responsibility towards art and artists on the part of private collections on the other. With loans from the Ursula Hauser Collection the students, Laura Bechter, and the curators of the exhibition space NEST (Gabrielle Schaad & Elsa Himmer) will set up an exhibition that will open during the module week. In the process, small groups will take responsibility for each step of the work relevant in the exhibition context. To this end, we will first work our way into an extensive installation work from the collection and understand its art historical contexts and significance. Laura Bechter (*1975) is an art historian (M.A.) and the curator of the Ursula Hauser Collection and in charge of other international art collections. She lives and works in Zurich. Gabrielle Schaad (*1982) is an art historian (PhD), freelance art critic and research associate in the BA Fine Arts at the ZHdK. Her research concerns representational criticism, transcultural movements and performative practices between art, architecture and technology. She has taught theory of architecture at the ETH Zurich and the Technical University Munich and worked as curatorial assistant at Art Museum Lucerne and Kunsthaus Zurich. Elsa Himmer (*1992) is an art historian and curator with a research focus on contemporary and medieval art. Since spring 2020 she works as teaching assistant at the ZHdK.
