Course overview

MA Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming engages with the study of international fashion exhibition-making and related museological practices, ranging from the detailed investigation of objects to the processes and apparatus of their display in cultural and commercial presentations.

The course centres on investigation into the practices and theories of fashion curation and cultural programming, through critical engagement with historic and contemporary references, to reveal the diverse contexts that inform this aspect of fashion curation.

To complement enquiry into fashion exhibition-making and cultural programming the MA focusses on examination of the cultural value and interpretation of objects through processes of research, archival discovery, practices of collecting and the classification of collections.

Fashion Curation and Cultural Programming is a young and fast-developing discipline. Through contact with academics and industry professionals active in the field (including academics from the Centre for Fashion Curation, independent curators and cultural programmers, private archives and commercial collectors, professionals from National and regional museums) students will keep abreast of the latest developments. The course is designed to allow flexibility of content so that contemporary topics (such as digital media, sustainability and the rise of brand-driven presentations) can be included in course content.

Fusing curatorial activities of exhibiting and collecting the course also engages critically with the origination and development of exhibition concepts and the translation of these concepts into innovative exhibition proposals. The course will support and encourage students to develop their own curatorial idiom within this dynamic discipline.

Climate, Social and Racial Justice

We are committed to ensuring that your skills are set within an ethical framework and are working to embed UAL’s Principles for Climate, Social and Racial Justice into the course.

Curriculum vitae

You will be required to submit a Curriculum Vitae (C.V.) in support of your application. This should include your full education and employment history.

Essay

Applicants should submit a review of a dress-based exhibition, or a catalogue, of 750-1,000 words. You might find it helpful to look at exhibition and book reviews published in 'Fashion Theory' for guidance about how to approach this.

If you are reviewing an exhibition:

  • Consider your evaluation by situating the show in relation to previous exhibitions that have relevance to the subject area and academic texts.
  • Consider the venue and how this exhibition fits with previous ones. Are the Curator's objectives made explicit? Are they achieved and if so, how?

Please provide a bibliography of any texts referenced and footnote any quotations used.

If you are reviewing a catalogue:

  • Please situate the subject within a history of previous exhibitions and publications. Does it chart new territory or add to existing knowledge?
  • Does it provide an insight into the intentions and nature of the exhibition or is it a 'stand alone' publication? Is there a statement from the Museum Director and/or Curator? Do they make their objectives explicit and what are their remits?
  • How are the clothes displayed, illustrated and labelled (are the captions like museum labels)?
  • Do you feel that it has provided you with a 'feel' for the exhibition and if not, does this or should it matter? You may wish to look at the Museum website and see what information is available about catalogue and exhibition.
