Choose Kingston's Art & Space MA
If you have a fine art, architecture or design background and would like to develop your professional practice within the public realm, this dynamic, production-based course is ideal. It enables you to identify and locate spaces in which to make and 'test' your work in the public domain, through site-specific work, performance and sound installation, internet activity, print-based publication, and so on.
What will you study?
You will develop and apply critical frameworks, debate a range of theoretical, cultural and social issues, and consider a variety of approaches to communicating and publishing your own research. You will focus on individual and collaborative practices, new technology, exhibition production and design, and a theoretical and critical programme to challenge and contextualise individual research and the placement of work in the public domain. In addition, you will become familiar with the processes necessary to initiate and realise projects, developing and presenting proposals and collaborative working structures.
