Abstract
This article explores the methodological considerations regarding the organization
of a site-specific exhibition in urban space and the design research experiments
that may be part of such an exhibition. The aim is to encourage design research
as ‘exhibition’ and to propose a format that allows theory to enter the exhibition
programme for the purpose of aligning exhibition contributions with theoretical
contributions. Through the proposed analytical approach, we offer a method and a model to analyse interventions in public space in relation to agency and the participatory agenda for humans and non-humans. The main contribution is an exploration of the specificalities of curating an exhibition in urban space as a distinct practice-based design research project, where programme, research questions and experiments create knowledge on scaling agency in regard to temporality, citizenship and the value of urban space.
