The Department of Art at the University of Reading in collaboration
with the Postgraduate Programme in Curating is offering a new doctoral
program for research in and as curatorial and/or artistic practice.
Research students are enrolled at the University of Reading and the
Postgraduate Programme in Curating is hosting a research group and
offers opportunities for teaching and lecturing in Higher Education.
The new PhD programme specializes in offering established curators,
artists, art critics and designers from all disciplines the critical
framework to focus on specific curatorial and cultural research topics
in order to earn a Doctorate from the University of Reading through a
combined theoretical and practical approach.
The Research Platform aims to provide a cooperative environment with a
decidedly cross-disciplinary and international bent based on an
association of two outstanding Programmes, the Department of Art at the
University of Reading and the Postgraduate Program in Curating at the
Zurich University for the Arts. The program responds to recent changes
in the processes of the production of culture and a shift in the
organisation of work processes throughout society. Within this shift,
individual areas of action are coming together in new meta-levels, such
as networks and knowledge transfer. The program aims to address and to
question the significant changes affecting cultural production. It
seeks to provide a productive environment for participants to discuss
and develop their research, to critically reflect on the issues
involved and to transform their own respective positions as producers,
agents, designers, artists, archivists, and conveyors of those
economies, and the politics, aesthetics and effects related to them.
The program emphasises the reflection of curatorial and artistic
methodologies and prospects of arts production, its practitioners, and
its audiences.
The Practice-based PhD program is designed for a three year duration.
Participants are enrolled at the Department of Art at the University of
Reading and they should be prepared to take part in seminars and
communal meetings in Zurich and Reading. Over the course of the three
years participants will develop and realise their projects supported by
the academic and artistic team of co-participants and faculty.
The participants have access to the facilities and resources of the
Department of Art at Reading and at the Postgraduate Program in
Curating and to the institutions and people that form the broader and
expanding Research Platform. Participants will be supported to pursue
and develop dissertation work resulting in a curatorial/artistic
project and a written component displaying a strong emphasis on
methodological reflexivity and documentation. Moreover, participants
are expected to take an active part in organizing the program
(coordinating workshops, guest lectures, conferences, exhibitions,
screenings, etc.). After successful completion and submission of the
PhD, a Doctorate will be awarded by the University of Reading.
Participants will be able to engage with the ongoing international
public programmes connected to the Postgraduate Programme in Curating
Zurich, and with the independent www.OnCurating.org magazine.
