Increasingly, many art and cultural institutions are asking curators and artists to work and formalise their exhibition projects using digital space models. These tools have become necessary for large museums but are also very useful for small self-managed and artist-run venues. This course teaches the use of SketchUp, the most commonly used and accessible software in these contexts, in order to offer the basics to use it autonomously.

A tool for creation, production, communication and outreach activities, this software enables users to explore and experiment virtually with numerous hanging configurations, and to try them out and compare them before making a decision. At the logistical level, 3D modelling helps organise assembly, providing technical teams with a precise reference point, and anticipate practical questions. Finally, by offering the possibility of generating views of exhibitions, whether exterior or immersive, of creating images and of rapidly producing floor plans, this software is a precious asset when it comes to communicating about the exhibition and welcoming the public.

Target audience
This course is aimed primarily at people who are involved or interested in designing and setting up exhibitions (especially artists, curators, set designers, stage managers, assemblers, managers of institutions, curators, exhibition commissioners, etc.).
