The MA Art and Environment programme is led by TU Dublin School of Art and Design in collaboration with Uillinn: West Cork Arts Centre. It uniquely combines post-studio art practice, interdisciplinary research, virtual teaching, Island Studies and community engagement. Taking contemporary art’s relationship with environments (ecological, spatial, political, economic) as its object of study, the MAAE instructs students in artistic practices shaped by ‘archipelagic thinking’ and a pedagogy that is world-centred. To support these ambitions, the MAAE has developed a distinct, three-part curriculum focused on Mapping, Sensing, and Hacking. Where Mapping gathers historical and empirical knowledge, Sensing promotes sensorial and aesthetic engagement with materials, systems, and environments. Hacking, then, encourages imaginative, site-specific interventions that excavate, repurpose, or recompose elements of the environment.
Initiated by Dr Glenn Loughran (TU Dublin) and Ann Davoren (Uillinn), the MA Art and Environment is the only archipelagic Master’s degree programme on the Island of Ireland. It is supported by a team of artists, lecturers, and researchers in the School of Art and Design (TU Dublin), by the community workers and technicians at Uillinn and the Sherkin Island Development Society (SIDS) and by an international, interdisciplinary network of peers and colleagues.
