The second-year graduate curatorial practice students offer their perspective on relevant issues in contemporary art with their final academic projects.  The class works collectively in the development and implementation of an exhibition, and individually on the research and writing of a dissertation. This year the thesis show, which extends the program's focus on new forms of exhibition-making, will again be on view at the Wattis Institute of Contemporary Art, beginning on April 21. The individual theses which address the curatorial implications of a number of art historical and cultural phenomena will be presented in a formal, public defense on April 30.
