“Exhibition as Method” presents 10 essays that explore the exhibition as a method through artistic, curatorial, and theoretical perspectives in dialogue.
The starting point for the Open Call for experimental essays for Metode vol. 4, Exhibition as Method, was an interest in the exhibition not only as a format for presentation, but as a critical and generative research method. The call invited artists, curators, architects, and scholars to explore how exhibitions can function as thinking tools, discursive spaces, and sites of knowledge production. How can exhibitions operate as systems of signs, social infrastructures, and environments for embodied experience? Which methodologies, histories, and collaborative practices shape the exhibition as a form of inquiry, and how might it be reimagined as a space for experimentation, co-creation, and learning?
