Application closing date: 26th September 2008.

MA in Visual Arts Practices is a Masters of Arts programme, provided by
the Institute of Art, Design & Technology (http://www.iadt.ie). It is
based in the centre of Dublin, and encompasses pathways in criticism,
curating and art-making. The programme begins in January and can be
completed in either a 12 or 24 month period.

MA in Visual Arts Practices (MAVIS) emphasizes the importance of
real-world learning experience and offers a combination of taught lectures
(on Visual Culture, Contemporary Art Practices, Seminar and Research
Methods in Practice), tutorials, critiques, seminars, workshops and
independent study. It provides you with an opportunity to build and expand
your professional networks through a high profile visiting lecturer
programme, an annual symposium and two international study trips. You are
also invited to develop work for a research collaboration event, which
opens to the public.

During your time on MAVIS, you will extend your practice by examining a
range of validating contexts within which your work is understood. A key
aim of the programme is to ensure that research becomes an intentional
rather than an assumed activity and you are encouraged to contextualize
rather than theorize your practice. Each year new learning opportunities
are explored through international study trips and this year MAVIS
students have visited the Berlin Biennial and will participate in a
Stockholm-based postgraduate workshop.

MAVIS is open to a diverse range of practices, with past and current
students working in areas such as public art commissioning, performance,
photography, criticism, sculpture, video installation, curating, and
painting. The programme also provides an opportunity to develop and
explore hybrid practices incorporating art-making, writing and curating.

MAVIS Programme team for 2008/2009 includes Amanda Ralph (Programme
Co-ordinator), Maeve Connolly, Tessa Giblin and Sarah Pierce.

Visiting lecturers on MAVIS have included Dave Beech, David Blamey, Iwona
Blazwick, Nicolas Bourriaud, Roger M. Buergel, Gerard Byrne, David
Carrier, Justin Carville, Adam Chodzko, Alex Coles, Valerie Connor, Pip
Day, Vivienne Dick, Jeremy Deller, James Elkins, Mike Fitzpatrick, Annie
Fletcher, Maria Fusco, Liam Gillick, Sarah Glennie, David Godbold, Paul
Hedge, Darragh Hogan, John Hutchinson, Jesse Jones, Enrique Juncosa, Fiona
Kearney, Pil & Galia Kollectiv, Caoimhín Mac Giolla Leith, Francis McKee,
Dennis McNulty, Leif Magne Tangen, Alice Maher, Mike Nelson, Harold Offeh,
Paul O'Neill, Aisling Prior, Linda Quinlan, Tim Stott, Anne Tallentire,
Anton Vidokle and Grant Watson.

>From September 2008, MAVIS will be engaged in multiple research
collaborations with professional art institutions - an exploration of
practice-led research with The LAB, a curatorial research collaboration
with  Project Arts Centre and an investigation of artistic production with
the National Sculpture Factory.

The programme meets regularly in The LAB and will work towards the
development of a public event in the gallery in June 2009. The aim of this
event is to explore the possibilities presented by The LAB, and the
laboratory model, as a setting for practice-led research through
experimentation. In October 2008, MAVIS will collaborate on a curatorial
research initiative, originated and led by Tessa Giblin. This project will
bring international curators to Dublin to conduct studio visits and
participate in a public seminar. This initiative will also result in the
online publication of a Research Reader to include research by MAVIS
students and the invited curators. MAVIS will also open a dialogue with
staff and members of the National Sculpture Factory, in order to
investigate the ongoing significance and potential of the factory as a
model and site for contemporary art production. This dialogue will explore
post-industrial contexts for artistic production in Cork city and beyond,
with a particular focus on traditional forms of 'making' and these
discussions will form the basis for a more extensive collaboration in
2009.

Open Day is Saturday 13th September, 2008, from 2-5pm at The LAB, Foley
Street, Dublin 1, where you can meet lecturers and students currently on
the programme.
