The exhibition project is based on systematic and methodical work, starting with a creative idea and ending with a realized and presented exhibition project. The course is based on the introspection of one's own creative process, finding sources of inspiration, their analysis, the creation of a conceptual framework of the approach to the topic being portrayed, the analysis of the issues and context in which the project is created, the research of the historical and contemporary context, the awareness of the connection or negation of important works related to the topic, the choice of media and the scope of the project, the idea of the necessary collaboration or the acquisition of new skills, especially in the field of technical support for the presentation and the actual implementation of the project in the exhibition space. Throughout the creative process, the listener works with the accompanying text

• an explication, which serves primarily as a record of its own methodology and approach, as a basis for consultation, and in its final form as a basis for the evaluation committee and the basis of the listener's verbal explication. The listener makes full use of joint and individual consultations, working closely with the studio manager, who recommends and highlights different approaches and determines the scope of the work.

The timetable can be briefly described as a search for answers to the questions - what - why - how - where

1 joint studio consultation - presentation of themes, discussion - justification of themes and topics to be worked on, feedback

2 joint studio consultation - research of own themes and topics - examples of elaboration, feedback for other listeners

3 individual consultations with the studio leader - recommendation of other inspirational sources

4 joint studio consultation - expanding the meanings of the project, refining the meaning and mission, placing it in a contemporary context, presenting the beginning of the work

5 joint studio consultation - choice of media and scope of the work, presentation of the created working material, collected materials, etc.

6 individual consultation - pointing out pitfalls, reviewing the timetable, individual recommendations

7 presentation of the work in process, revision of the original plans and their refinement

8 presentation of work in process - resolution of technical problems - discussion of collaborating entities - technical recommendations

9 individual consultation - reflection on deviations from the original plan, their evaluation and inclusion in the elaboration

10 revision of the explication, methods of adjustment, work with material, technological procedures

11 solving adjustment problems in relation to the conceptual plan and spatial possibilities, solving technological and technical problems, practical solutions to technical security

12 installation of the exhibition project in the exhibition space
