Overview

This unit is the fifth in the Visual Practices sequence. In this unit you will focus on your chosen areas of interest reflected in your choice of workshops. Topics will include curatorship, arts writing and a range of contemporary art approaches. A high degree of independence, combined with advanced conceptual lucidity and prowess in the development of curatorial, collective and individual practices should be evident at this stage. You will develop an individual program in conjunction with the lecturer that reflects your personal direction and evolving practice, either curatorial, theoretical or practical.
