The Arts Management team is happy to announce the takeoff of their new blog聽Wunderkammer. The title was selected not just as a homage to the German definition (any place where a collection of curiosities and rarities is exhibited) but also to the 鈥淐abinet of Curiosities鈥, a collecting phenomenon known as a predecessor of the modern museum; a topic the students studied their first week of classes. The word itself does not translate wholly to any other language, thus representing the role of the Arts Management professional, a career that, although with many facets, does not quite fit any other category.
The blog鈥檚 鈥淎bout鈥澛爌age defines it聽as 鈥渁 contemporary blog surrounding the extra-ordinary in the collection, exhibition and exploration of the Arts.鈥 Students from the department created聽the project in order to have聽a place to publish聽interviews with curators, other art other professionals and artists, and to share pieces they enjoy and articles that touch upon聽all eras of art.
With the world of arts moving into the contemporary, new management professionals are eager to discover ways to incorporate technology and social media into their leading聽practices. AUR鈥檚聽Master鈥檚 in Arts Management team of students is happy to move forward in the same direction, starting with the blogging project.
