AHT3150 · Curating: Project studies

Overview

This unit is designed to support you through the process of developing and realising a self-directed research project within the disciplines of art history, art writing and curating. You will be encouraged to apply the knowledge you have gained throughout your degree and extend your interest in a particular mode of practice or research area. Your project might take any of a wide range of creative forms such as: an exhibition, publication, website, podcast or event. You will explore and develop the theoretical and practical aspects of your project through a program of directed reading and group discussions, alongside regular meetings with staff.
