As the end of this academic year approached, the IFC Critical Thinking and Writing course entered the final essay stage. The subject of final essay was about reflections on the CAFAM Biennale Exhibition which was running in our gallery. The exhibition entitled “The Invisible Hand: Curating as a Gesture” was divided into six parts: Game Theory, The Code of The Golden Bough-Economics of Witchcraft, Soul, and Faces, Basement of Museum, No Puppet Is Dumber Than Its Puppeteer, On Ambiguity and Other Forms to Play With and so on. Under the instruction of Mr.Crowley, students visited the exhibition and gained a deeper understanding of the exhibit, which could be an inspiration for the upcoming graduation exhibition.
