Event details
This seminar will take the opportunity to introduce the Critical Practices Research Group and its new web presence. The aim of the group is to provide a ‘home' for all of us engaging with practices of art, design and curation across the School. Presented as an open forum, the session will open up discussion about the purview of the group, to consider a range of engagements with critical practices research and how as a group we can showcase our work. The seminar will also be an occasion to look ahead to upcoming plans for this academic year. As part of which, the preparations for working with Tate Exchange will be discussed, which hopefully will be of interest to a good number us across the School, and with strong ties to teaching (so helping to promote links between research, engagement and teaching).
