Re-creating exhibitions at the National Gallery

The history of exhibitions is an important part of curatorial studies and art history today. Recent developments in the field of digital humanities allow scholars to approach old problems with new means, or to ask new questions that could not have been asked with the traditional methods. Can tools such as computer aided design and virtual reality help us understand artworks and their display? 
 
Parallel to our exhibition ‘Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look’, Daniel F. Herrmann, our Curator of Modern & Contemporary Projects is joined by Lucy Steeds, Senior Lecturer in Art at the University of Edinburgh and Kevin Lotery, Assistant Professor of Art History at Boston College, for a discussion on exhibitions at the Gallery by artists including Lucian Freud, David Hockney and Richard Hamilton.
