What do you think I should do?

[BuddingScholar]

Hey guys... here I come with another one of my "not-so-smart" questions.

 

As I update my CV, I am wondering if I should add a new heading [Curatorial Work] to it -- I could list a small exhibition I co-curated last year, as well as the current and future exhibitions I will either assist with, or will curate "alone" at a local art gallery? Since these are all "gallery" shows, I am not sure if grad school admission committees would actually care, or worse, would think that I am trying too hard to show that I have gained or will gain experience by the time I [hopefully] start grad school.

I hope you guys can shed some light on this.

 

Thank you so very much again!

I don't really know the specifics of writing about curating on a CV, but I do know plenty of people who include a lot less significant experiences in theirs than what you've got going on. I say add all of it.  Also, people put "current research" on their CV, why would current and guaranteed future exhibitions and gallery work be any different?

I work at a museum and I've assisted on a number of shows, so I did exactly that, put an "exhibitions" section on my CV and just made sure that I was careful to put the role I played in the show's production. The same should fly for gallery shows!

Thank you guys! I guess, at least it won't hurt.
