By studying across two departments and two countries students will receive a unique learning experience from two major European Art centres. Students will draw inspiration from Reading's close proximity to London, the hub of international contemporary art, and the vibrant art scene in Zurich. Both institutions attract students of the highest calibre through their expertise and extensive international research networks. The new PhD emerged through longstanding research collaborations between Reading's Professor Susanne Clausen, Head of the University's Department of Fine Art, and Zurich's Director of Postgraduate Programme in Curating Dorothee Richter. Professor Clausen, Head of the University of Reading's Fine Art said: "We are excited to have won a partnership with the renowned Curating Programme at the University of the Arts in Zurich. We are especially delighted to be working with Dorothee Richter, who is an internationally renowned curator and writer, as well as Director of one of the most exciting curating programmes in Europe." This innovative PhD module will provide a platform for cutting edge collaborations between curators and artists. It is also closely related to the internationally renowned web magazine ON CURATING www.on-curating.org and provides possibilities for participants to engage critically with its broad international network. Dorothee Richter said: "We have designed this PhD program as a shared platform of knowledge production where the specific contexts of the respective institutions will provide many exciting research opportunities. Participants will be encouraged to make use of resources such as the Curating Degree Zero Archive that was recently required by the University of the Arts in Zurich, which contains materials of about 100 curators, artist/ curators and curatorial groups.
