The scope of work will be set out in a contract with the instructor at the beginning of the semester. Works should be of exhibition quality.<\/p>\n<p>Students will be assessed on formal and conceptual rigor, risk-taking, professional presentation, attention to detail AND on the criteria outlined by each student in the exhibition contract. Work must arrive at the agreed upon time on installation day in the gallery with appropriate hanging hardware. Students may need to consult the instructor to determine appropriate hardware. Students must trial the installation of all works during the mock install.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><b>Mock Install<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Occurs 1 week prior to the beginning of the exhibition install. Mock install takes place in the art studios. The mock install is a chance to trial all the elements of installing the work before it goes into the gallery.

Work should be presented in the studio\/portable approximating gallery install as closely as possible. <strong>All work, including installations should be installed as they will be presented in the gallery.&nbsp; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All work students wish to exhibit in the senior show MUST be presented in full during the mock install and must be exhibition ready.
