Aims
To promote in depth investigation into contemporary creative practices and provide, through collaboration with established key partners, an understanding of the social, cultural and economic environment of the city.
To facilitate an engagement with cultural and regulatory institutions and organisations to enrich the students' experience of the professional environment of contemporary urban art and design.
To provide, through key partnerships, a range of collaborative projects which challenge the notion of the interdisciplinary practice within the context of the contemporary art & design and which enable students to propose, plan, organise, publish and promote their work within the context of an external body.
Learning Outcomes
1.
Demonstrate their ability to work collaboratively with peers and external partners by exercising effective networking, communication and organisational awareness.
2.
Present an advanced proposal or project outcome that acknowledges the professional context of a specific collaborative partnership.
3.
Articulate an appropriate understanding of the conceptual frameworks and critical approaches that inform the production, publication and dissemination of contemporary art &/or design projects through the formulation of innovative, visionary and speculative commercial and/or practical outcomes.
Module Content
Outline Syllabus:Students will have the opportunity to work closely with internal partners within the School of Art & Design and the wider John Moores community, and with external partners in the UK and internationally. Outcomes should include proposals for applied creative projects and demonstrable practice based artefacts relevant for exhibition purposes. An emphasis will be placed on students furthering their understanding of their chosen pathways within the programme and developing professional links and experience in disseminating work to the public/professional bodies. Teaching is predominantly through workshops, seminars and tutorials. Learning is consolidated through tutorials. Peer review is a crucial part of the art & design studio based experience facilitated through group tutorials, seminars and critical reviews.

- Guest lecturers will expose you to areas of collaboration
- This module is shared by all students studying on taught postgraduate programmes at Liverpool School of Art and Design and allows you to collaborate across programmes
Additional Information:Representatives from collaborating institutions cultural institutions will be involved in facilitating access to resources and expertise within their organisations. Students will be required to undertake a series of visits to these institutions and will have access to the people who work in them. From this they will gain insight into the everyday workings of the institution, its policies and its politics. Students will be required to make project proposals as part of the online journal/report, to demonstrate their awareness of the varying programming demands of institutions/commercial ventures. The module will be augmented by a series of lectures and presentations to aid student understanding of contemporary ideas about the way art & design is an integrated process of collaborative practises. The aim is to promote and shape their professional life beyond their respective Programmes of Study.
Additional information will be provided in Module Guide and module component briefing documents.
