Contemporary Art and Artists in Education

Course Code: MMAART_06

Masters Level Module

This module offers you the opportunity to examine the significance of contemporary art and artists for education. Through a series of visual presentations, tutorials, seminars, workshops and gallery visits, you will investigate artists' engagement with contested spaces, e.g. diasporic identities, queer sexualities and feminist interventions into art and pedagogy. This will entail a discussion of: definitions, education in contemporary art galleries, the role of residencies, contemporary art and its audiences and current exhibitions. Methodologically you are introduced to discourse analysis and semiotics and invited to consider their potential for research in the field. Assessment takes the form of a 5,000 word assignment.

This module is held on Thursdays plus whole days in half-term week
