What You'll Learn
The situated focus of the programme – Asia and the world – seeks to generate new discourses in and through a regional lens that creates balance and insight into the making of art historiographies as a crucial and critical curation of politics of knowledge in a global art world.
This timely and relevant programme aims to address current and arising global events and concerns. It pays close attention to the impact of, for instance, the pandemic, advances in technology and environmental issues, all of which are transforming the ways in which the arts are practised and theorised, as well as how works of art are presented and received.
In studying and understanding the historical flows and emerging geometries of cultural production and creative economies, ecologically responsive and ethically responsible approaches to curating and exhibiting art are central to this programme. You will also be taught to use digital tools as a means to shape art histories and curate virtual exhibitions. New media art and emerging art technologies, including NFTs, and the ephemeral qualities of durational performance art will challenge you to learn and experiment with how such art forms can and should be critiqued, curated, collected and conserved.
The Institute of Contemporary Art Singapore, a prime curatorial arm of LASALLE, will serve as an incubator for you to learn from curators, study exhibitions and work with artists. This programme culminates in a final project for which you will collaborate to plan and execute an exhibition that combines theoretical and practical knowledge.
