This unit will test your understanding of time and space from the mundane to the sublime, the microscopic world to concepts of infinity and all the gaps in between. You are encouraged to be innovative in the use of materials and processes and to extend your theoretical understanding of time and space. Increasing your ambition in the creation of art works and understanding, through research into the place artefacts are shown in will be a focus of this unit.

Outline Syllabus
The unit title Articulating Time and Space introduces the idea of considered display to your studio practice. Discussions around ideas of time-based work and installation compliment workshops in casting, video and performance.

Method of Delivery
Studio-based assignment, seminars, tutorials, independent research and practice.
