COMPARATIVE EXHIBITIONS RESEARCH

  • Seven floors, fifteen theaters and fifteen galleries

  • Curator of Truth, Power and a Free Press at MoAD was in touch with them. Email from late 2018 - “We are also in discussions with the Newseum in Washington DC regarding their powerful Journalist’s Memorial and see that your Barometer would strongly complement this in the exhibition.”

MoAD - Truth Power and a Free Press 

  • Main exhibition that comes up when you search for exhibitions on this topic

  • Opened in 2019 to highlight the role of the media in democracy beyond just the Press Gallery. Focuses on investigative journalism and media as ‘the fourth estate’.

JOURNALISTIC NATURE OF EXPERIENCE

  • Bucharest, Romania

  • 2022

  • Salonul de projecte (description below) operates out of a 1920s building which used to be the headquarters of the ‘Universul’ newspaper

  • Salonul de proiecte is a program focused on research and production, which promotes Romanian contemporary art through exhibitions, publications, presentations and debates.

  • They did an exhibition called Journalistic Nature of Experience, to look ‘more deeply at the locus in which the Salonul de project operates the former Universul printing house’

  • “above all else [the exhibition] seeks to encourage reflection on the print medium in itself, on the type of labour that this enterprise entailed, an enterprise that brought together multiple talents and trades, throwing into relief aspects to do with the evolution of technology and specialisations in the print sector, the circulation of images, the infrastructure and culture of journalism. Many of the political conflicts and much of the same questioning of the status of the press from that time are also articulated”

The Art of the News: Comics Journalism at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art

  • 2021

  • Relevant to Behind the Lines at MoAD

  • “Without shying away from vital questions about the role of representation in the perception of reality, comics journalists are nevertheless telling stories that urgently need to be told—in an immediate and accessible way. As such, the best works of comics journalism stand as compelling examples of how the news might be reimagined as an artistic practice.”
