MRes Art: Exhibition Studies examines the history of contemporary art through key developments in the exhibition form. MRes Art is made up of three specialist pathways: Theory and Philosophy Moving Image and Exhibition Studies. MRes Art uses research and writing to develop modes of questioning, speculative thinking and critical evaluation. Drawing upon a wealth of scholarly expertise from the staff team, visiting lecturers and practitioners, the course considers the relationship of contemporary art research to wider aesthetic, cultural and socio-political issues.   There are opportunities for students on each pathway to come together for shared taught components. You will also be encouraged to develop student-led activities. In the past, our students have collaborated on research events and publications, as well as the annual Tate Exchange programme at Tate Modern.MRes Art is offered in extended full-time mode which runs for 60 weeks over two academic years. You will be expected to commit 30 hours per week to study, which includes teaching time and independent study.  The course has been designed in this way to enable you to pursue studies, while also undertaking part-time employment, internships or care responsibilities.Two years (60 weeks) Extended full-time
