After successful completion of the course, students are able to distinguish different forms of collection rooms. They will be able to identify the individual types, define the essential criteria of differentiation and apply basic principles for the design and practice of collecting.

Various different collection spaces will be researched, analysed, documented and archived. Criteria of different spaces will be presented in relation to the collection’s contents and their respective collection logics and will be developed through discursive analysis. Questions relevant to research will be defined, worked on and put up for discussion. The results will be publicly discussed, documented and published and form the basis for a more in-depth examination.

Research, analysis, documentation, discussion, presentation, publication, exhibition, i.a.
