Interpretations is a core module for MA Art Gallery and Museum Studies, MA Arts Management and Heritage Studies and MA Curating Science based on the School of Fine Art, History Art and Cultural Studies at the University of Leeds. Using an action learning approach, students are supported to learn about object research, interpretive practice, text writing, visual communication and marketing though developing online exhibtions. Welcome to this years exhibtions.
2021 is the second year Interpretations has run as an online exhibition module (due to the pandemic). Students work with collections that have been made available with clear copyright licences in place for use and in some cases editing, such as The Smithsonian Institution, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Science Museum Group, the Wellcome Collection and the Rijksmuseum. The first year produced a rich range of exhibitions in responses to current and urgent challenges. This second year was themed around ‘Provenance’, with students freely interpreting that world – in the style of the Serpentine Marathon.
