| Course description | This course integrates your approach to artistic research, production and distribution by focusing on 'sites' as key factors in the professional development of your practice. You will learn about how art can both mediate and be mediated by the experience of its
context and explore different ways in which space and place are constructed in contemporary art globally. You will develop artistic possibilities that lie inside the contexts of the museum and gallery and in the public and virtual realms. |
