The emphasis of this studio-based practice module is on research and consolidation. The module is designed to work as an intermediary between the experimentation conducted during Studio Practice 1 and the independence of Final Project. Students have the opportunity to consolidate the new ground their work in the previous module revealed through a process of artistic research that should provide the foundations for their work both in this module, and the subsequent Final Project.

At this point in the course, students are allocated a supervisor whose expertise and interests are most appropriate to their practice. This member of staff becomes their main point of contact throughout the remaining two semesters. Students are supported by a combination of group feedback sessions and individual tutorials, with their supervisor and other members of the staff team.

Students are required to present their emerging research in a short presentation which forms 10% of their mark of the module. This is an intended both as a professional development opportunity to gain experience of public speaking relating to your practice, and an opportunity to consolidate thoughts and project potential future developments for the Final Project. At the end of the module students present their work publicly in an exhibition held in an external public venue, which once again gives them professional experience of working with public-facing arts organisations.

The module brings together a range of ideas, subject-matter and methods of making, to open up deeper understanding of the scope and potential of contemporary art practice. There is an emphasis on non-traditional media, encompassing performance and the digital.

As the culmination of the degree, this module presents an opportunity for students to independently generate and exhibit an ambitious body of work, which forms their contribution to the MA Show. Students consolidate the research, experimentation and experience of the previous two practice modules into a resolved public exhibition, installed to a professional standard.

Students are supervised by the member of staff most appropriate to the nature of their practice. However, as the objective of the module is to enable students to pursue their practice independently beyond the institution, the emphasis of this period is on developing students’ reflective criticality and self reliance.
Students are assessed on their exhibition and a short artist statement about their practice.
