M.A. in German Literature with History of Art and Philosophy (University of Munich, Germany)

PG Cert. in Teaching in Higher Education (University of Birmingham)

Undergraduate level

• Year 2: Landmarks of Western Visual Cultures, 1930s to the present; Inside the Gallery; Research Techniques
• Final year: Contemporary Art and Postcolonialism

Postgraduate level

• Critical Approaches, 40 credits (2001-2011)
• Research Training, 20 credits (2009-2012)
• Curating Research, 40 credits (2010-2012)
  This module involved the curating an exhibition. The following were held at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts, Birmingham (since 2012 in collaboration with the National Portrait Gallery, London):
  2012, 25 May-27 Aug. Facing the Music. Twentieth-Century Portraits of British Composers
  2011, 27 May-29 Aug. Tennis Memorabilia (with loans from a private collection)
  2010, 10 June-1 Aug.  Print Power
  For further information and annual exhibitions since 2012, see http://barber.org.uk/exhibitions/

The overwhelming positive response to the module ‘Curating Research’ led to the design and introduction of the MA programme ‘Art History and Curating’ introduced in 2014.

Furthermore, fuelled by my research on exhibitions manifested in publications, conference contributions (papers and session convening), by supervising dissertations and research theses on histories of exhibitions and galleries (for details of both see below), and by designing and teaching the undergraduate module ‘Inside the Gallery’ led to exhibitions and curating becoming a central strand for the entire department so that it was renamed ‘Art History, Curating and Visual Studies’ in 2015.

In 2015/16 (winter semester) I applied parts of the model of this MA programme to that offered by a university in Germany. I initiated, designed and co-conducted the exhibition placement programme for the art museums in Erfurt, Germany as part of the Master programme Sammlungsbezogene Wissens- und Kulturgeschichte (Knowledge and Cultural History through Collections), University of Erfurt, Germany (see for the programme:  https://www.uni-erfurt.de/studium/studienangebot/master/swk/).

In 2015 and 2016 students were involved in preparing the exhibition Performing Bodies. Raum und Zeit bei Meister Eckhart und in Videoinstallationen von Taery Kim / Performing Bodies. Space and Time in Meister Eckhart and Video Installationen of Taery Kim, Galerie Waidspeicher (Michaelisstr. 10, 99084 Erfurt, Germany, http://www.galerie-waidspeicher.de/home/).

The forerunner of the exhibitions mentioned above under ‘Curating Research’ was the annual PG exhibition of the department, each mentored by another member of staff as a voluntary undertaking, though without any programme credits for the students; this, in turn, was initiated by the 2005 show Art and Migration the first exhibition at the department curated by postgraduate and undergraduate students (primarily led by Dr Jennifer Powell, at the time a PhD student under the supervision of Dr Jutta Vinzent). Different from the exhibitions as part of the module, which only have a pamphlet published (2-paged folded A3-size), these exhibitions came with an exhibition catalogue; here is the list of these:

2009 - Building the Future. Birmingham’s Architectural Story, 5-18 June 2009 (under the mentorship of David Hemsoll and with loans from the RBSA, Birmingham); David Hemsoll (ed.), Building the Future (with contributions by David Hemsoll, Hazel Weston, Barbara Forgarty, Amy Shulman, Lucy Blackford, Richard Horley, Victoria Jones, Tamsin Foulkes, Elizabeth Moore, Georgina Webb-Dickin and Tess Radcliffe), Birmingham: Barber Institute of Fine Arts, 2009, 30 pp 

2008 - Publicity and Perversity. The English Satirical Print, 1750-1950, June 2008 (under the mentorship of Dr Camilla Smith); Camilla Smith (ed.), Publicity and Perversity.

2006 - Travel by the Book, June 2006 (under the mentorship of Dr Richard Clay); Richard Clay (ed.), Travel by the Book (with contributions by Susan Rasmussen, Allan Reynolds, Camilla Smith and Caroline Walker), Birmingham: George Bell Institute, 2006, 88 pp and 15 b.&w. illustrations  

2005 - Art and Migration, 11-15 July 2005 (under the mentorship of Dr Jutta Vinzent); Jennifer Powell and Jutta Vinzent, Art and Migration. Art Works by Refugee Artists from Nazi Germany in Britain, Birmingham: George-Bell-Institute (Humanitas Subsidia Series, 2), 142 pp with 24 illustrations (second, revised edition published as Visual Journeys: Art in Exile in Britain, Chichester: George Bell Institute, 2008, 143 pp with 24 illustrations

I supervise MA dissertations, MPhil and doctoral theses on modern and contemporary art (preferred areas include any aspect of migration and diasphoric communities related to Germany and Britain, post-socialist issues in a European context, exhibition cultures in Germany, Britain or post-1989 Europe). My former students have been able to be appointed to positions in galleries (Tate Britain, London and Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge), but also universities (Jaber University, Kuwait and the University of Birmingham) and in law firms.

• The Making of Modern Art through Commercial Art Galleries in London, 1909-1949 (a project which investigates the making of modern art through a study of its sale and display in commercial art galleries in London from 1909 to 1949. It will not only reassess accounts of European modernism by exploring its socio-economic framework in unprecedented detail, but will also ask how this framework underpinned modern art’s broader cultural impact)

Successful grants

Overcoming Dictatorships (Co-I)

Funded by the European Union (scheme ‘Culture 2000’) with € 513.688 (15/11/2006-14/05/2009)

The project explored ways in which artists and writers dealt with the political changes in Europe, in particular the opening of socialist countries since the end of the 1980s. A number of symposia held in the seven participating European countries (Poland, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Romania, Italy, Germany and Britain) explored forms of remembrance of authoritarian systems (Socialism, Fascism, National Socialism) and anxiety of new ones (consumerism, globalization, mass media). Critical attention was also drawn to the EU’s unifying character in the light of cultural diversity.

PI: Prof. Dr. Dr. Gerhard Besier, Technische Universität, Dresden, Germany; further Co-Is: Prof. Dr. Ehrhard Cziomer, Krakowska Szkoła Wyższa im. Andrzeja Frycza Modrzewskiego, Kraków, Poland; Dr. Marius Oprea, Institute for the Investigation of Communist Crimes in Romania, Bucharest, Romania; Doc. PhDr. Kristina Kaiserová CSc., University of Jan Evangelista Purkyně in Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic; Katalin Gádoros for Prof. Dr. István Rév, Open Society Archives, University of Budapest, Budapest, Hungary; Prof. Dr. Gustavo Corni, University of Trent, Italy).

The artists involved in the project were Zbynĕk Benýšek, Zbigniew Czop, Mirela Dauceanu, Ulf Göpfert, Harald Hauswald, Silvestro Lodi, Vlad Nancă, Sándor Pinczehelyi, Michele Zaggia and Aleksander Zyśko.

Development of Technology-Enhanced Learning in the Department of History of Art (P-I)

Funded by the Learning Development Unit, University of Birmingham with £40.388.39 from Sept. 2005 for 24 months.

Based on work carried out as part of my publication on web-based research and teaching material in the History of Art in CHart (Computers and the History of Art), I successfully bid for an innovative project involving the transformation of the large slide library of the Department of History of Art into a digitised source supporting teaching and research, a cutting-edge strategic undertaking at the time. The project has been successfully managed and carried out, and has significantly contributed to cultural changes in approaching the discipline at the University of Birmingham.

Curating exhibitions (see also under teaching)

2016 (initiated, conceptualised and co-curated) 'Performing Bodies. Raum und Zeit bei Meister Eckhart und in Videoinstallationen von Taery Kim' / 'Performing Bodies. Space and Time in Meister Eckhart and Video Installations of Taery Kim', exhibition, Galerie Waidspeicher (Michaelisstr. 10, 99084 Erfurt, Germany, http://www.galerie-waidspeicher.de/home/), 23 Jan.-13 March 2016 and as ‘Time, Unbinding. Taery Kim – solo exhibition’, Ilmin Centennial Memorial Museum and Centennial Memorial Samsung Hall, Korea University, Seoul, South Korea, 7 July to 21 Aug. 2016.

This exhibition was part of the impact activity of the AHRC project on ‘Meister Eckhart and the Parisian University in the early fourtheenth century’ (Kings College, London, 2013-6).

2008-09 Principal curator of an internationally shown exhibition (together with the curators of the University Collections, University of Birmingham, the management team of the EU project ‘Overcoming Dictatorships’ and two of my PG students) entitled ‘Overcoming Dictatorships’, Aston Webb Building, University of Birmingham, Birmingham (8 Oct.-9 Nov. 2008). The exhibition travelled to the Gallery U Frycza Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski, Kraków University College (KSW), Cracow (24 Nov – 14 Dec. 2008), The National Museum of Contemporary Art at the “Ion Creanga” National Theatre, Bucharest (5 Jan.-18 Jan. 2009) and the Town Hall City of Dresden, Dresden (06 Apr.-26 Apr. 2009). A pre-show with selected works was held at the gallery of the Open Archives Society, Budapest (12-14 October 2007).

2005 Initiation and principal management of the student-led exhibition ‘Art and Migration. Art Works by Refugee Artists from Nazi Germany in Britain’, The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, The University of Birmingham, 11 – 15July 2005.

Impact:

1. The exhibition was shown on the occasion of the 50thanniversary of George Bell at The Otter Gallery (University of Chichester) (http://www.chiuni.ac.uk/ottergallery) from 31 May to 29 June 2008 and formed the nucleus of Forced Journeys at the Ben Uri Gallery in London  (http://www.benuri.org.uk/), 20 Jan. to 19 April 2009, an exhibition which travelled to the Sayle Gallery, Villa Marina Colonade, Douglas (Isle of Man), 9 April to 23 May 2010 and the Williamson Art Gallery&Museum, Birkenhead, 16 June to 25 July 2010.
2. Organising an exhibition together with students proved the instigation of students’ deep learning and the attraction of a wider audience than those interested in research only. The exhibition with catalogue led the department hold a PG exhibition at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts with publication every year from 2006 to 2009 (each of the exhibition was overseen by a member of staff on a rota). The exhibition led to the university accrediting a new module (called Exhibition Module), designed by me and taught together with the Barber Institute of Fine Arts with the innovative assignment consisting of an exhibition with exhibition programme (workshops and lunchtime lectures) shown at the Barber Institute of Fine Arts in June and July each year (since 2009/2010). The exhibitions, held at a university gallery, also fit into the Impact agenda of funding bodies, as they train PG students in the light of potential future professional researchers (for a list of the exhibitions, see above). The module resulted in the design of an MA programme incorporating an annual student exhibition as well as placements. Curating has become a flagship of the department; a lectureship was advertised in 2015 and the name of the department changed, now incorporating curating (Department of Art History, Curating and Visual Studies).

1999, 17-19/11   Principal curator of an exhibition accompanying the international colloquium ‘Theologen im Exil – Theologie des Exils?’ (‘Theologians in Exile – Theology of Exile?’), Mainz (17-19 November 1999).
