MPhil/PhD Advanced Practices

Goldsmiths, University of London

This programme will provide you with an opportunity for your own work to engage with the widening horizons of new practices. It will also enable you to invent methodologies, reframe urgencies, and reimagine the contexts for work.Building on theoretical grounding, the programme offers an opportunity to bring together different sources of knowledge, methodologies, and models of making public.Concepts animating our work on the programme are:Choreo politicsAnthropology as cultural critiqueCultural metabolicsCuratorial knowledgesThe exhibitionary matrixThe intrusions of natureRace and digital ecologiesPractice epistemologySpectral infrastructuresThis is practice-driven and research-based programme, which can incorporate projects in progress, collaborations with organisations, and platforms. It can also be an opportunity to rethink the circulation and meaning of how/to whom work is communicated, and to put forms of transdisciplinarity into practice.Seminars are taught six times a year, encouraging those working in the field to be able to maintain their work. Participants are artists, curators, organisers, researchers, and activists.In addition to the seminars the programme will involve the oral presentation of a research project, participation in department pre-upgrade panel, and a dissertation (practice-based and written submission).
