CSCA: Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art
The Centre seeks to generate debate concerning the questions facing contemporary art, as well as providing a space in which to work through contemporary art's long history.
Engaging with the work being done by postgraduate students and staff in the department, the Centre provides a place to think, theorise and historicise contemporary art, exploring what it has become in light of the complex global, historical, social and political aspects of its current expanded field.
