Curating Artistic Creativity - MMCS120
This unit is a broad introduction to the contemporary arts in Australia, covering a wide range of forms and disciplines. The unit looks at contemporary ideas and directions in the arts, the life and practice of the professional artist, the economics of the arts and arts policy and funding. The unit takes its point of view from the conviction that the arts are humankind's greatest cultural repository, and that they contribute to education, spirituality, identity, and cultural continuity. The unit specifically investigates the role of arts in forging an Australian national identity. We pay particular attention to the role of curating artistic creativity, in contemporary arts, music, and arts festivals.
