MA Arts and Place Goes on The Road
Between June and September 2021, MA Arts and Place students have been travelling the length and breadth of the country to take up placements as artists-in-residence at our partner organisations.
These have included:
- Delfina Foundation, London
- Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol
- Outlandia, Scottish Highlands
- art.earth, Devon
- ACA Northumberland
- CAST, Cornwall
In each case, our students have been exploring the imaginative as well as material processes of their practice out “in the field”. The programme forces them to confront what it means to produce work outside of the traditional four walls of the artist’s studio, taking art out of the ivory tower of exclusivity and into really tangible places, in collaboration with active communities, in urban or rural environments. For the final module, the students return to Dartington to share their findings and begin work on their final project. The photos below hopefully give a sense of the different locations and art practices in development.
