MRes
Afterall Research Centre is closely linked to the MRes Art: Exhibition Studies pathway led by David Morris, Editor for Afterall’s Exhibition Histories series and Helena Vilalta.
MRes Art: Exhibition Studies is a postgraduate research course at Central Saint Martins that focuses on the history of contemporary art from the perspective of the exhibition form – analysing how artworks are encountered by publics, and shaped by display, discourse and critical reception.
Recent visiting lecturers have included Maria Tereza Alves, María Berríos, Elena Filipovic, Pablo Lafuente, Rebecca Gordon-Nesbitt, Pablo Lafuente, Paul O’Neill, Gayatri Sinha, Kim West and many others.
The course, which lasts for two years and is taught three days per week, is directly tailored to individual interests and strengths, offering rigorous research training and a supportive environment for advanced study.
