About the course

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.
