Established in 2001, the Masters of Contemporary Art Theory (MA CAT) is a post-studio programme that supports the research and practices of artists and aspiring art professionals.
The MA CAT encourages practices that are speculative and reflective, developing artistic research on, and in, a range of media, sites and organisations.
The programme supports an applied knowledge of art now, grounding schooling in the practices of art and contemporary art theory as well as extra-disciplinary and intermedial approaches.
The taught curriculum consists of an innovative series of learning sprints designed to support the development of your artistic research and practice through:
- workshops
- practical partnerships with art organisations
- carefully scaffolded approaches to collaborative inquiry (‘problem-based learning’)
- peer-production (‘paragogy’)
You will create art projects designed to engage and develop emerging hypereconomies of contemporary art and its variety of media, technologies, images, artefacts, tactics, texts, cultural contexts and professional practices.
