Contemporary Visual Arts

Strong research skills, awareness of the practices and dynamics of the contemporary art system and market, a methodology that blends theory and practice through different possibilities: the "Final Critics" (end-of-year educational project, which allows students to exhibit their works in a collective exhibition presented to gallery owners, collectors and art critics), intensive workshops, development of results for external bodies and clients, construction of a professional portfolio, reporting of national and international competitions. Thanks to these possibilities, the graduate of the two-year specialist course in Contemporary Visual Arts will acquire basic skills that can be used professionally to continue managing public and private clients the relationship with gallery owners and museum curators.
The courses are held by established artists in the sector and designed, taking into account the dynamics of artistic experimentation in synergy with museums, galleries, awards, and art foundations. Also important are the meetings and collaborations with professionals in the sector, such as curators and art critics, and organizers of cultural events. Furthermore, the didactic plan of the course follows the natural and necessary maturation times addressed to one's own professional artistic research, favored by the presence of a small and selected number of students. Within the curriculum, there are disciplines helpful in obtaining the teaching qualification and monographs in English.
