Form overview

Welcome to the Fine Fine art BA where you will develop the creative and critical skills to claiming prevailing creative conventions. You and your contemporaries are the artistic practitioners of the hereafter and together we tin question and remake the cultural landscape of today.

BA Art at Central Saint Martins asks two cadre questions in relation to art; what is the site of product and what is the site of encounter?

At CSM nosotros continually challenge what we think art is. We recognise the broad diversity of social, political, cultural, economic and technological contexts in which contemporary art is made and exhibited. Working together, staff and students interrogate the multiple and varied ways in which artists make work and make piece of work public.

The grade is organised into iv studios; 2nd, 3D, 4D and XD. Each studio engages students with specific disquisitional perspectives and technical inductions. You are encouraged to develop your work in relation to different forms of practice across any range of media. The studios embody an inter-disciplinary approach and this is reflected in the cantankerous-studio events that are structured throughout the form. We brand in ways that reflect the full range of materials, technologies and discourses exploited by artists today.

Your studio will provide you with an experimental space where discoveries tin can occur. For this to keep happening the studio has to exist perpetually reinvented, performance as laboratory, performative site, social infinite and discursive environs. The notion of studio refers to any infinite for making and exploration. Artists always notice new means to make work with dissimilar resources, finding new places to make piece of work that apply innovative and established product processes. At CSM, the studios reflect these trends. You lot will work with staff to develop and model the studio advisable to the needs of the group.

Experimental forms of exhibition-making take place inside each stage of the course. Exhibitions happen both in the Academy and in public venues, in conventional and non-conventional physical and not-physical spaces. Recent examples include, Camden Collective, Archway Tower, British Library, Camden Arts Middle, performances inside the Tate Turbine Hall and Tate Substitution, Arts Media Islington School and Crumbles Activity Playground.

Students tin besides opt to take the year-long Diploma in Professional person Studies between Stages 2 and 3, offering highly focused and personalised work placements which assistance them develop enhanced communication, networking, and organisational skills. In contempo years, students have had placements at Tate Modernistic, The Purple Festival Hall, professional artist studios and the National Theatre.

We cover the rapidly changing and broad contexts of the fine art-wold. Our intention is to radically question, claiming, disrupt and provoke to create answers to art futures and time to come fine art practices.

Form units

BA Fine Art integrates studio practise, Critical Studies and Professional Development through instruction both within the Studio structure and beyond the year group at fundamental moments. Students are allocated to a Studio through a diagnostic process at the outset of the course however pathway transfer is possible.

Each Studio has a distinct culture that is orientated around particular discussions, themes and resources. As the student progresses through the course, the relationship between the Studios is progressively porous. We encourage students to take a fluid and flexible approach to their use of media and understanding of creative discipline.

The Studios

The way we piece of work and create starts with exploration speculation and enquiry and this takes place through materials, processes of making, dialogue and criticality. Theory and practice are understood in relation to ane some other, integrating both studio and contextual studies contexts.

2D explores how making is informed by contemporary culture, politics and social forms as much as by questions of the image and abstraction. It considers the screen, the picture plane and surface as fundamental aspects of visual production. Technical inductions are positioned in terms of these questions. In the studio, nosotros discuss how various disciplines, practices and forms of thought tin be mixed.

3D explores matter, scale, production, material and immaterial form in relation to identify and audition. Students are inducted into a range of traditional and new 3D technologies, and to the debates surrounding hybrid production processes. The studio is a place where the reading, writing and creation of spaces tin can accept place and be questioned. 3D challenges a conventional understanding of the studio, the exhibition and institutional spaces.

4D explores time-based, durational performative and interdisciplinary practices. Disquisitional and philosophical positions are explored in relation to practise and current ideas such equally the post- medium status, the apparatus of technology and temporality are considered. The Studio is experimental in approach and explores how this might challenge conventions of exercise. In this context, the 'open work' is engaged as a site where collaboration and production take place.

XD explores the possibilities of non only 'what does fine art mean?' but as well 'what can art do?' and 'where can fine art be?' The implications of working across different sites and placing art in particular situations and communities questions the rights and responsibilities of the artist in relation to audiences and the environment. The studio is considered as a laboratory where ideas for interventions in the do of everyday life can be generated.
