Critical and Pedagogical Studies

Malmo Art Academy, Malmo

Malmo Art Academy invites you to apply for Critical and Pedagogical Studies, a full-time second cycle study programme leading to a Master of Fine Arts degree, working across borders between art theory, practice and pedagogy. It brings together a small group of postgraduate students from a BFA, MFA, or similar background. The programme is wellsuited for artists working from a hybrid or expanded practice. The course is largely based around intensive seminars and workshops led by visiting lecturers, the professors at Malmo Art Academy and the facilitators of Critical & Pedagogical Studies project development. There is a focus on the development of the student's own projects through group critiques, individual tutorials, and a six-week pedagogical placement where theoretical knowledge is applied to a practical teaching application within an art school, museum or relevant institution. The programme intends to incite experimentation and initiative, especially within the fields of art production, education and theory. Through the structure of the programme there will be a focus on how we discuss, produce, educate and communicate, which challenges students to be critical of how educational structures operate, both within the programme itself and in relation to an educational practice. The programme curriculum also includes a study trip abroad. Previous study trips have been to London, Graz, and Scotland. Theory will be viewed as practice, and practice will be theorised. Key issues and topics of discussion are pedagogical strategies such as artists teaching artists and the artist's role in mediating to a public, combined with critical thinking on artistic production, with an openness to learn and experiment. Participants may be involved in developing the programme and its content. The final work towards completion of the degree is developed to bridge theory and practice through individual exam projects and a written thesis. Malmo Art Academy provides participants with a collective workspace, and the participants may use all premises at the Academy, including the library and workshops. Most seminars will take place at the Art Academy. Applicants must have a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree or equivalent. Application deadline: 1 April 2015
