Projeto curatorial para a exposição transcendendo o Paraguaçu Maragogipano: fotografias de Helio Tomita

Abstract

The present research is presented as a project of an exhibition about the work of the photographer Helio Tomita, developed in the city of Maragogipe, Bahia. For this, it was necessary, first, through a bibliographical research, to apprehend the history of photography until it was understood as art, and then to establish the theoretical contributions that determine the field of museum curation and art curation, as well as such as the role developed by the curator and, finally, exposure as a communication tool, fundamental definitions for the design of the project. Subsequently, we discussed the procedures for designing a curatorial project, the collection research. Finally, we associate the empirical data with the production of an expography and then design the curatorial project "Transcendendo o Paraguaçu Maragogipano: fotografias de Helio Tomita".
