Summary

MRes Art: Exhibition Studies examines the history of contemporary art through key developments in the exhibition form. In addition to the selection of art and modes of address, you will consider the wider social conditions and impact exhibitions can have on those who experience them. The MRes Art course is part of the Art programme.

MRes Art is made up of three specialist pathways: Theory and Philosophy; Moving Image; and Exhibition Studies. MRes Art uses research and writing to develop modes of questioning, speculative thinking and critical evaluation. Drawing upon a wealth of scholarly expertise from the staff team, visiting lecturers and practitioners, the course considers the relationship of contemporary art research to wider aesthetic, cultural and socio-political issues.

MRes Art: Exhibition Studies draws on the pioneering Exhibition Histories publication series produced by Afterall. On this pathway you will be encouraged to think of the exhibition as an entry point to the study of contemporary art. You will consider the wider social implications of the "being in public" of artworks. This pathway is delivered in conjunction with Afterall, the art research and publishing organisation based at Central Saint Martins.

It is known for breaking new ground and asking difficult questions. Across nine programmes of study, the College champions the power of imagination, curiosity, diligence, ambition and risk-taking. It challenges the cores of its disciplines, encouraging collision and exchange across boundaries to create unexpected outcomes.
