Fine Art Arts University Bournemouth (AUB)

MA Fine Art is an opportunity to look at the familiar with a fresh, perhaps oblique perspective in order to explore how "detour" permits "access"(Jullien 2004) to more subtle yet more complex interpretations. What constitutes a meaningful and useful research methodology in one culture may be considered unknown, unnecessary or redundant in another.

These differences are at the very fabric of the Fine Art course; establishing deliberate cross-cultural dialogues with students from International and UK backgrounds and providing a vehicle for highlighting differences in working practices and methodologies.
