Master of Arts in Contemporary Curating

Program Overview

MA Contemporary Curating explores the notion of curatorial practice in contemporary culture by addressing a number of inter-related fields of creative practice and theoretical approaches and situating them in a historical and critical context. The course explores different kinds of curatorial issues in addressing exhibition-forms and exhibition-making processes and how we conceive of spaces of production and curating as subjects with our integrated research and practice-led approach.

The shifting relationship between artist-institution-curator-critic/writer forms a central element to the course with a special focus on the meaning the culture of curating, in which our perception of creativity has been transformed by curating and the discourses surrounding it. The course also explores the potential of seeing curating as something that can be applied to various forms of knowledge: publications, symposia, events and interventions.

This course is available to study full-time over one year, or part-time over two years.
