Master of Arts in Art History (Critical Curatorial Studies) (MA)

Critical and Curatorial Studies (CCST) is an emerging field of scholarship and training that looks directly at the roles and responsibilities of curators and critics as mediators between objects, institutions, experiences, individuals and groups. While this involves investigating and negotiating a number of disciplinary fields, from ethnography to aesthetics, organizational behaviour to cultural studies, the main focus is on contemporary conditions of display and understanding.

The program’s alumni are:

• Able to engage productively with critical discussions of art and visual culture
• Capable of developing and working with new modes of exhibition
• Able to work creatively in both traditional and innovative situations
• Familiar with issues and institutions affecting contemporary art
• This program aims to address the growing need for curators and critics who have theoretical knowledge and practical experience in analyzing institutions, preparing displays and communicating about contemporary art.
