RATIONALE:

It is important that at a Masters level students have a high degree of awareness of contemporary cross-cultural issues in Visual Arts theory and practice in the Asia-Pacific region and are able to locate their work within a post-colonial Australian context.


SYNOPSIS:

This study is related to contemporary visual arts practice in Post- Colonial Australia with specific reference to its Indigenous and Asia- Pacific contexts. This includes the investigation and interaction between cultural production, cultural difference and multiple traditions which form and increasingly inform contemporary visual arts praxis.


OBJECTIVES:


On successful completion of this course students will be able to:

  • demonstrate an empirical understanding of cross-cultural issues as they relate to visual arts and crafts practices;

  • demonstrate a high degree of understanding of visual aesthetics particularly in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region;

  • contextualise contemporary Colonial and Post-Colonial theories as they relate to their chosen field of practice;

  • demonstrate advanced skills in conceptualising, planning and researching contemporary theoretical issues as they relate to their studio-based work and to underpin ultimately a public exhibition, performance or publication.
