XHIBITOR is a multiplatform research project investigating transmedia and art exhibitions, by MA in Film Curating graduate Julia Fryett. Julia is calling for submissions - details below.
XHIBITOR: Transmedia Art Exhibitions, From Bauhaus To Your House
Though the term transmedia was popularized in 2003, it echoes avant-garde exhibition design strategies theorized by Herbert Bayer and Frederick Kiesler nearly seventy years prior. This project considers transmedia within the trajectory of art history, questioning how it can be employed as a curatorial methodology. It is comprised of four sections:
EBOOK: Establishes a theoretical and historical framework for transmedia art exhibitions, tracing back the core concepts to Bauhaus and De Stijl notions of interactivity and immersion. Available on ISSUU and iTunes.
DATABASE: Presents an archive of past and present exhibition histories, classified according to the language of transmedia.
TOOLKIT: Resources blog updated with articles, studies, presentations, academic texts and multimedia educational content.
VISUAL MAPS: Data mapping charts and visualizations representing exhibitions, taxonomies and related histories.
Julia is currently seeking submissions of exhibitions to the Database and resources for the Toolkit. She is particularly interested in academic papers, essays and articles that address transmedia theory in relation to the arts and culture. You may submit via the online forms or email to
