| DESCRIPTION | The Exhibition places the student’s practical output within a public dimension. Students will put up a collective exhibition in a museum, gallery or any other public space including the Internet and need to address issues of physical and virtual space, aesthetic display, information and communication as well as marketing and advertising.
