建立宗旨\Mission
The Curating Contemporary Art programme is a leader in its field, with an explicitly global perspective on the current role of the curator. Established in 1992, the MA Curating Contemporary Art is the only curatorial course to place the key issues posed by globalisation at the heart of its curriculum. It is also unique in operating on a studio model. It approaches the field critically, theoretically and through best-practice in commissioning, exhibition-making, programming and art writing in museums, galleries and a broad range of alternative contexts. Widely acknowledged as an important marker of current developments in contemporary art, the annual CCA show in the RCA galleries has become known for experimental approaches to working with artists, and for introducing new international artists to UK audiences.
當(dāng)代藝術(shù)策展項目（簡稱為MA項目）是該領(lǐng)域中的翹楚，并在當(dāng)前策展人角色中具有明確的國際視野。該項目建立于1992年，是唯一一個將全球化問題放置在學(xué)科建設(shè)核心的策展課程，也因其工作室教學(xué)模式而獨具一格。MA項目以辯證的、理論的方式直擊領(lǐng)域核心，并要在廣泛的語境中進(jìn)行一系列的最佳實踐——項目協(xié)調(diào)、做展覽、做項目以及與博物館、畫廊寫作。本項目被普遍認(rèn)為是當(dāng)代藝術(shù)領(lǐng)域當(dāng)前發(fā)展的重要推手，每年在皇家美術(shù)學(xué)院畫廊舉辦的CCA展覽，以與藝術(shù)家合作的實驗性方法以及向英國介紹新興國際藝術(shù)家而聞名。
課程簡介\Curriculum
First Year
第一年
The first year combines learning through practical experience with historical, theoretical and critical reflection. Students work on various exhibition projects, and research and write two essays. They also undertake a number of study trips.
第一年我們在歷史、理論和批判性反思的基礎(chǔ)上將學(xué)習(xí)與實踐訓(xùn)練結(jié)合。學(xué)生們將在不同的展覽項目中工作，并研究和寫出兩篇論文。學(xué)生還要進(jìn)行一系列的研究旅行。
Practical Projects
實踐項目
Students work on a portfolio of practical exhibition projects.
學(xué)生以小組為單位在實際展覽項目中工作。
Teaching Blocks
The programme is structured around a series of intensive taught thematic teaching blocks. Block teaching is provided by programme staff and practising professionals, including curators, artists and critics.
教學(xué)理論：
MA項目是建立在一系列十分嚴(yán)密的專業(yè)教學(xué)理論之上。教學(xué)理論將由MA項目工作人員和實踐領(lǐng)域的專家（包括策展人、藝術(shù)家和批評家）組成。
Courses
In parallel with the teaching blocks and practical projects, a series of seminar-based and workshop-based courses led by programme staff run throughout the first year:
課程
在第一學(xué)年，與教學(xué)理論和實踐項目同期進(jìn)展的將是一系列以研討會和工作坊為基礎(chǔ)的由MA項目工作人員指導(dǎo)的課程。
'Curatorial Practice' comprises a range of collaboratively realised curatorial projects. Participation in these projects is designed to equip you with the knowledge and understanding as well as the practical skills that you will need to curate exhibitions in a variety of contexts (commercial, institutional, etc.) and with a range of content (collections, film and video etc.) It involves active, practice-based thinking about ways in which exhibitions shape cultural history and enter curatorial discourse.
“策展實踐”包括一系列的合作實現(xiàn)的策展項目。本課程旨在讓參與者將對本行業(yè)的知識和理解協(xié)同實踐技巧并行，實施在各種語境下（商業(yè)，機構(gòu)等）和由各種藝術(shù)品（收藏、電影和影像等）組成的展覽策劃當(dāng)中。這涉及到主動的、以實踐為基礎(chǔ)的思考方法，使展覽塑造文化歷史，并進(jìn)入策展話語之中。
Critical Theory is designed to introduce and discuss critical concepts and theories of art and culture relevant to the production, consumption and interpretation and understanding of contemporary art.
“批評理論”旨在介紹和討論與生產(chǎn)、消費、闡釋和理解當(dāng)代藝術(shù)有關(guān)的批評理念和理論。
Writing for Curators aims to equip students with three distinct skills related to writing: to develop a personal writing style; to write in the ‘range’ of voices required of curators and construct appropriate texts and documents; and to produce academic writing appropriate to MA level. The course is designed to complement the various real and hypothetical curatorial projects which students work on in the first year, as well as preparing them to produce a final dissertation in their second year. Each session is focused around a separate exercise in reading, writing or text analysis.
策展人寫作旨在讓學(xué)生掌握三種不同的寫作技能：形成一種個人的寫作風(fēng)格；在策展人聲音所需“范圍”之內(nèi)寫作，并形成嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)奈恼潞臀募懽髁?xí)慣；達(dá)到MA水準(zhǔn)要求的學(xué)術(shù)寫作水平。本課程的最終目的是為了協(xié)助完成第一學(xué)期學(xué)生各種真實和想象的策展實踐，并準(zhǔn)備他們第二年需要完成的最終論文。每個學(xué)期都圍繞一個單獨的讀、寫或文本分析的重點。
Second Year
The second year of the programme is more self-directed. You work as a member of a group to prepare an exhibition. Experience of working collaboratively is an important aspect of the training offered by the programme, encouraging you to develop skills of advocacy and debate, diplomacy and administrative discipline.
該項目的第二年學(xué)習(xí)更趨向自我引導(dǎo)式。學(xué)生將以小組的形式來準(zhǔn)備一個展覽。協(xié)同工作的經(jīng)驗是MA項目提供的一個重要的訓(xùn)練，該訓(xùn)練會鼓勵學(xué)生去發(fā)展宣傳、辯論、外交和行政紀(jì)律方面的能力。
