It is no coincidence that the word ‘curator’ is etymologically related to ‘cure’: to curate is to cure. Curating cures the powerlessness of the image, its inability to show itself by itself. Exhibition practice is thus the cure that heals the originally ailing image, which gives it presence and visibility; it brings it to the public view and turns it into the object of the public’s judgment (Groys 2009). Knowledge Spaces, Interior Architecture Design Studio 3, focuses on the interior design of knowledge spaces, including Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums (GLAM). The Design Studio is driven concurrently from a design and a curatorial position and involves a research component, a written component and a significant design and documentation component.
