📖 项目简介

Established in 2001, the Masters of Contemporary Art Theory (MA CAT) is a post-studio programme that supports the research and practices of artists and aspiring art professionals.

The MA CAT encourages practices that are speculative and reflective, developing artistic research on, and in, a range of media, sites and organisations.

The programme supports an applied knowledge of art now, grounding schooling in the practices of art and contemporary art theory as well as extra-disciplinary and intermedial approaches.

The taught curriculum consists of an innovative series of learning sprints designed to support the development of your artistic research and practice through:

• workshops
• practical partnerships with art organisations
• carefully scaffolded approaches to collaborative inquiry (‘problem-based learning’)
• peer-production (‘paragogy’)

You will create art projects designed to engage and develop emerging hypereconomies of contemporary art and its variety of media, technologies, images, artefacts, tactics, texts, cultural contexts and professional practices.

A defining aspect of our theory programme is the emphasis we place upon speculative scepticism – not starting from the position of knowing what post-studio practice is but being motivated by speculation on what it might be.

We generate a dynamic, intellectually ambitious environment in which staff and students can learn together. We attract students with very different backgrounds and experiences. This difference generates diversity and a richness that is key to learning about, and expanding, the field of contemporary art.

The focus on building a supportive creative community through innovative forms of peer-generated knowledge, the rigorous and experimental combination of theory and practice and the international profile of the student body makes our master’s programme unique.

Our academic staff provide specialist support for students wishing to pursue research on and in established fields of contemporary art practices and theory, while fully engaging with the ever-changing context of emerging media and innovative forms of critical and organisational praxis.

✨ 项目特色

• 'Art' is the culture that rings true to your community. The MA CAT integrates peer and project approaches to learning, fostering a vibrant community where students and staff support each other. Our unique approach to art education will inspire you to devise, then realise, your own artistic community.
• The MA CAT programme is driven and transformed by what makes staff and students curious. The curriculum is led by our research, so it is 'new' each year. As a student, you become part of an evolving research project which aims to re-imagine the philosophy and values that constitute 'contemporary art'.
• We use a practical approach to learning - we don't just theorise, we act. You will engage in 'live' projects in collaboration with Edinburgh's numerous arts organisations and apply your artistic learning in real-world settings.
• Based in the University of Edinburgh - one of the world's leading research universities.
• Exceptional academic facilities at the Edinburgh College of Art, including postgraduate study spaces, computing suites, creative industry-standard software, fabrication workshops and an MA CAT project space.
• Combined with Edinburgh's incomparably rich cultural institutions (National Galleries, National Museums, 25+ festivals and so on), it is the perfect environment for your artistic research.
