Afterall Research Centre

Description

Afterall is a Research Centre of University of the Arts London, located at Central Saint Martins. Afterall focuses its research activities on the value of contemporary art and its relation to wider society. Its specialist research areas include 'Art Becoming Public', which addresses exhibitions, institutions and what happens when art becomes public and 'The Work of Art', which focuses on researching through the work of art, while interrogating the scope and parameters of this commitment. The research centre works with partners across three continents to deepen this enquiry and make it available through publications, digital access, conferences, screenings and talks.

The centre's research areas, moreover, include:

• curating 'global contemporary art';
• curatorial experimentation;
• artistic experimentation in exhibition practice;
• exhibition and institutional histories.
