Course summary
This is the first MA programme in any tertiary arts institution or university worldwide to focus on modern and contemporary asian art, institutions that do offer degree programmes in Asian art focus mostly on the classical periods. By contrast, it gives students the opportunity to undertake research in a largely untrodden field and thereby contribute to its discourse and scholarship. Modern and contemporary Asian art is an emergent field of inquiry in terms of its scholarship and research. It seeks to fill the gap in the scholarship of modern and contemporary Asian art by providing an academic framework for the serious study and research of the subject. It takes a multifaceted and cross-disciplinary approach in terms of its content, covering a diversity of art forms, disciplines and issues that go beyond the conventional history of painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, installation and video art. it will encompass ‘histories’ in fields of study as diverse as museology, heritage, conservation, film and the art market. By focusing on modern and contemporary asian art, it is in line with Lasalle’s focus on contemporary art practice. It also fits in well with Lasalle’s strategic plans and ambitions for the development of the College over the next five years, which is to become the world’s premier educational institution for contemporary intercultural study of diverse artistic traditions and to become the leading Asian educational institution for contemporary creativity in the arts. Graduates can progress as an museum curator, assistant curator, museum administrator, art critic, art writer, gallery manager, art consultant, academic, art gallerist, researcher/ research associate and archivist.
