ART AT DARTINGTON
University College Falmouth
MA Visual Performance (time-based practices)
Shared aspects of the programme can also allow for cross-disciplinary
working with Art & Ecology, Curating, Art Management, Contemporary Music,
Choreography, Devised Theatre and Performance Writing.
The programme (full-time and part-time) is engaged with modes of
contemporary arts practice where work often encompasses a range of media and
manifests itself in a multiplicity of individual or integrated forms of
outcome. This approach is relational: its central concern is in constructing
temporal, spatial and material encounters with a public.
It recognises that current art practice demands formal and contextual
knowledge and skills across a wide range of practices, disciplines and
critical enquiries including; questions of the conceptual, the spatial, of
material, body, text and site.
At our programmešs centre are installative and performative approaches to:
live and mediated practices, object and sculpture, video and sound
practices, photography, drawing and textual practices, digital imaging and
interactivity.
The programme provides a critical, enquiring and reflective approach to art
making and presentation where conventional approaches to form, media,
context and content are questioned, tested and re-addressed.
The course actively engages with current critical, aesthetic, political and
cultural discourse in both theory and practice.
By the very nature of this approach, practice, critical theory and research
are seen as interdependent.
Through processes of, concept, process and dissemination, students are
encouraged to challenge preconceptions, working imaginatively and
responsively with the diversity of possibilities offered by current art
practice.
Great emphasis is placed in the development of independent productive
activity, critical thinking, the articulation of ideas and research
methodology. It is an intensive taught course providing a valuable bridge
between studentship and professional practice.
