Location of Kingston University
This is an innovative course and the only one of its kind in the UK that provides you with the technical and critical means and experience to work as a professional artist in the European arena. Based at Kingston, but including a placement and exhibition project in a major European city, you will work and learn within a growing Europe-wide network of artists, curators, galleries and museums.
What will you study?
Through a combination of studio project and theoretical study at Kingston University, together with a one-week intensive course in Zurich, Switzerland, you will have the opportunity to develop and apply your chosen art practices.
You will also focus on the concept of 'transdisciplinarity', with an emphasis on learning from practice and through discursivity and topicality. Within this, there is a further emphasis on making findings public - by means of exhibitions, websites, publications and events.
Through the programme of practical projects that you will undertake, you will investigate and research the artistic ideas and cultural policies that are currently being pursued in different cities in Europe.
