The New Centre’s Art & Curatorial Practice Program is one of only a few international curricula to invite creative practitioners to think on their feet. The Program starts with the recognition that the Students enrolled are artists, curators, publishers, editors and writers who have skin in the game of art. It thus fosters an emancipatory turn, in the context of global digitisation and climate chaos, from overall lament to a particular investigation of the possibilities for art in the long-run. Conceptual rigor, in the context of this program of Art & Curatorial practice, means investigating the relations between concept, percept and affect specific to creative practices, so as to ground the dialogue with other forms of practice and knowledge, notably those coming from the natural and human sciences. The program addresses the paradigm shifts brought on by new media technologies and the engineering of art but also cultivates historical analysis, given that documented pasts are alive to us both in the normative assumptions of art's institutions and in its speculations for the future. As part of its practicum, the program will include the publication of research and student-curated events and exhibitions. The Art & Curatorial Practice Program introduces Students to methodologies that are yet to be incorporated into the art curricula of accredited universities and colleges. Through their course of study, Students will meet and become part of a network of professional artists, critics, curators, and thinkers who are currently involved in the fields of art and curation. By studying in the Art & Curatorial Practice Program, Students and Researchers will be able to account for the technological transformation of the meaning and practice of art in the 21st century and play a key role in the new possibilities provided by these changes.

REQUIREMENTS: All certificate students will complete ten credits of seminars with The New Centre, with a minimum of four having to be taught by the Programmer of their Certificate of choice. The two remaining credits will consist of a consultancy with our Organizer, Mohammad Salemy, and the proposal, production, and publication of at least one full-length essay in a reputable online or print periodical venue or a substantial artistic or curatorial project with a reputable institution. The Programmer will supervise this project in two meetings which must be scheduled after completing the Seminar credits requirements. The certificate Programmer will closely assist all Certificate Students in achieving these requirements and liaising with potential publications, project execution, and internship venues.
