My research into time-based media is a response to the cultural change in curating (O’Neill, 2012) and advancement in technologies used within art practice (Rieland, 2014). As a curator I must respond creatively in order to survive and thrive in this practice.
Looking at the way time-based media is exhibited and the use of the liminal space of the gallery, I aim to develop an understanding of the current boundaries and contexts of display.
Things to do:
- Create a timeline of time-based media exhibitions and key moments in the UK.
- Identify themes in exhibition design/ key curators/ development of technology used by artists. Survey the context / increase general understanding both historically and in contemporary terms.
- Identify further gaps in my knowledge.
- Survey and review who else has contributed to this field.
- Locate my position.
- Formulate a viable research question.
