The MA in Critical and Curatorial Studies of Contemporary Art (CCSCA) is a two-year, international graduate program that offers students a practice-oriented and research-inspired approach to the study of key ideas, issues and contexts of contemporary art and curating, with a focus on the Asia Pacific region. The final call for applications for fall 2020 will be open from July 6 until July 24, 2020. 

Launched in 2016 at the National Taipei University of Education, CCSCA is unique in its focus on the study of art and curatorial practice not only in Taiwan but also in the Asia Pacific. Given Taiwan’s growing importance as a vibrant and diverse artistic and cultural hub in Asia and the notable success of the country’s pandemic response, CCSCA is well placed to offer a safe and exciting environment for the study of art and curating in East and Southeast Asia, as well as the Pacific region. Through an integrated approach to learning and teaching that combines scholarly research and professional training, CCSCA offers students a critical and practical understanding of contemporary art and curating in the region and beyond.

The five modules of CCSCA—art history, art criticism, curatorial studies, museum studies and creative industries—are designed to enable students to develop a familiarity with the work of major art scholars, critics, curators and museum professionals, the diverse art histories of the region, different genres of art writing,  and the history and practce of exhibitions and curating. Along with on-campus seminars and lectures, the program is also organized through workshops, international exchanges, internships, and local and overseas study trips.  Aside from core and elective courses, students can choose to complete a research dissertation or curate an exhibition as their final project.

CCSCA also offers students the opportunity to meet visiting scholars, critics and curators who are regularly invited to deliver guest lectures in the program. In 2019, CCSCA worked in partnership with the Cube Project Space, Taipei Fine Arts Museum and the National Culture and Arts Foundation to co-program the Curatorial Intensive Taipei (CIT19) Workshop and Conference which featured local and international speakers including David Teh (author of Thai Art: Currencies of the Contemporary), Raqs Media Collective (artistic director of Yokohama Triennale 2020) and ruangrupa (artistic director of Documenta 15, 2022). 

CCSCA’s program is delivered in partnership with our on-campus university museum—MoNTUE—and in close collaboration with a broad range of museums, galleries and educational institutions across Taiwan and in the region.

The program’s integrated approach ensures that upon completion, students are well-equipped with transferable scholarly and professional skills and knowledge to embark on future careers as exhibition organizers, curators, arts educators, writers and researchers in museums, galleries and other art and creative sectors around the world.
