Explore various contemporary art galleries and exhibition spaces, commercial galleries and museums. Each week you will visit a different exhibition exploring a variety of themes, ideas, artists and fine art practices – such as painting, sculpture, drawing, installation, photography and film. The focus of the course is to discuss the works on display in an informed way. Most sessions include short talks on the artist/ works and themes as well as facilitated group discussion. Although the focus of the course is on contemporary art, sessions occasionally explore art produced during various periods of the 20th century.
This course will explore this rich resource of cultural engagement. You will have time to view artworks before discussing works on display through a facilitated group discussion. The aim of the course is to analyse and discuss the artworks in a meaningful way, within a supportive and friendly group environment.
This course is suitable for anyone with an interest in art and cultural production. You do not need any prior knowledge of contemporary art.
You do not need any specialist knowledge of art, though an interest in contemporary art is desirable.
You will find it helpful to bring a paper and pen for making notes.
