Art+Critique is a practice-led course for artists, curators, writers and researchers who want to test ideas, ground their practice, and build critical tools within a community of peers.
The programme integrates practice and theory in a comprehensive programme that emphasises critical inquiry through a series of lectures, seminars, workshops, off-site visits, tutorials, assignments, feedback, and peer support. The curriculum fosters experimentation and collaborative learning. It provides a supportive learning community, where participants will extend and develop their ability to discuss, write about and judge contemporary art, as well as their ability to reflect on and contextualise their own practice.
By the end of the course, participants will have a critical awareness of contemporary art, with a road map and toolbox of methodologies, skills and resources to sustain their practice independently.
This course was just what I needed to inject energy, and life into my practice. It gave me the weekly discipline to keep reading, researching, writing and making, and it also gave me the confidence to finally apply for my MA! The lectures were very informative and well organised. This course has really helped me to re-examine my practice, to find the theory to map where my ideas fit and the language to articulate them more clearly.
