Imagine you are a museum curator of contemporary photography, and have just received a commission to put on a show at the San Jose Museum of Art. (Links to an external site.) The show may be on any theme of your choice- but must be photography related. For example you might choose one art movement, and explore it in depth- or choose something broader like documentary photography.

This is a chance to express what you find most interesting photographically. If you need some suggestions, here are some ideas to help you think about your own:

  • Street photography
  • Contemporary takes on portraiture
  • The evolution of landscape photography
  • War photography from World War 2 to present

This research paper will be in the form of a curatorial statement. (Links to an external site.) In a curatorial statement- you- the curator will explain the theme of the show to the viewer, and why you believe it is interesting enough for the viewer to pay admission to see your show at the San Jose Museum of Art.

These examples of curatorial statements may give you some inspiration when thinking about how to design you imaginary show, and how to approach writing your statements:

3. Please include some kind of visual representation of your show. This could include:

  • A mock up of an exhibition program including examples of the works alongside your curatorial statement.
  • A mock up floor plan of your exhibition, that lays out how and where works will be displayed. This does not have to be true to the actual San Jose Museum of Art – you are welcome to make up a completely fictional floor plan.
  • A poster advertising your show.
