I Got through Goldsmiths for Contemporary Art Theory. Had an interview with UCL for HOA last week. Still waiting to hear back from them.
I am pretty excited about Goldsmiths as the course sounds quite specific to CA with a multidisciplinary approach. It takes into consideration philosophical discourses performance studies, art history, philosophy, museology, queer theory, post-colonial studies and cultural studies pertaining to CA and the critical theories and methodologies.
Now of course I am still waiting to hear back from UCL. I am interested in Prof Demos's course on CA and globalisation, which again deals with my specific interest.
I am trying to gauge which would be a better course for me.
While the Goldsmiths course specifically addresses CA (my interest area), UCL's HOA offers a more rounded and critical approach to HOA, with special focus on the area of my interest (Demos's module). Considering I have not studies Art theory previously, maybe this approach would be better suited for me. Also from what I have heard, UCL has better access to museums/ libraries and other Uni of london events. Apparently they also collaborate with Courtauld do some seminars.
Confusion confusion confusion. -
