V78 Master of Contemporary Arts | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
INTRODUCTION
It is based on the view that artistic endeavour comprises both practice and theoretical investigations, and both are to be understood as research. The course has been constructed to reflect the intertwined character of theory and practice. The first semester of the course is designed not just to consolidate the students’ pre-existing skills but to extend their skills base and theoretical knowledge, enabling them to understand their work better within a larger historical and social context. The second and third semesters represent a sustained opportunity for the production of new work (text and practice), and building on the discoveries made while undertaking previous units.
The course is designed for individuals who define themselves primarily as artists, and who either have established a credible track record as practising artists or have shown a level of achievement and dedication in prior study, which indicates a strong potential for a career based around a contemporary arts practice. It is therefore expected that the majority of a student's time will be dedicated to the practical component of the programme (Studio Units).
