MA Curating New Media Art is a unique programme delivered by Liverpool School of Art and Design in collaboration with FACT (Foundation for Art & Creative Technology) and supported by Arts Council England North West
Throughout the year-long MA programme students explore and critically appraise projects in curating, creating and contextualising New Media Art. All students are introduced to a range of analytical and theoretical skills and approaches pertinent to the study of historical and contemporary material.
The programme offers a postgraduate qualification for students interested in the study of current and emerging areas of curatorial practice. It allows students to formulate and test their ideas in a range of arenas including exhibition, symposium and thesis.
MA Curating New Media Art offers both a practical and theoretical negotiation of the working methods of new media curatorial practice and the wider gallery system via projects concerning historical, current and emerging practice.
Drawing on the expertise of established researchers in Art and Design, this MA aims to identify and explore broad critical debates relating to theory and practice, to extend awareness and analysis of practices and to examine critically a range of advanced curatorial methodologies. Core modules allow students the academic space to develop their own projects. Modules are organised to provide a framework for students to enhance and consolidate their intellectual and practical achievements.
As part of the programme, students are encouraged to make links with key local organisations as appropriate, including FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), Liverpool Biennial of Contemporary Art, Tate Liverpool, Bluecoat Arts Centre, and National Museums Liverpool
