Framed: An Historical Examination of the Display of Art
January 19–February 5, 2010
opening reception Jan 22, 6:00-8:00
Framed, a senior honors project by SPU Art History major Melissa Brittain, investigates the way artworks have been displayed at different periods in modern Western history. From the extravagant “Salon-style” hanging methods of the 18th century to the more austere hanging methods used in today’s galleries, the strategies employed by Western curators have shaped the perceptions of generations of viewers. In Framed Melissa traces the history of curation and also analyzes the psychological effects of different methods of presentation.
